Symptoms
You are trying to create an application link and you input a server base URL i.e. http://myserver.mydomain.net:8090/confluence
But whenever you specify the URL, it is converted or changed to i.e. http://myserver:8090/confluence
Cause
Confluence base URL is configured differently as compared to the URL you use to access Confluence from the browser. In this case (as per example above) Confluence base URL is configured as http://myserver:8090/confluence instead of http://myserver.mydomain.net:8090/confluence
Resolution
Ensure that the URL you use to access Confluence from the browser matches the base URL configured in Confluence Admin > General Configuration and reconfigure the application link again.
