how to escape a URL with an IP address?

Question

The RCE in Canvas won't seem to let a user save any content if it contains http://<any IP address>, for example the following line used in a programming course where the command is intended to use the loopback address:

curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/authors/

Is there a way to allow this line of text in a Canvas page, without adding a space or otherwise altering the address?

@MaximWawruck - try adding a space after http://

curl -X GET https:// 127.0.0.1:8000/api/authors/

That worked for me in Canvas using your example.  ~ Jeff
