how to navigate to a url from our local host?

I have a url eg: xyz.net/645636. I'm trying to access it but it is giving me an error saying cannot get to xyz.net/645636. But, I didn't have any problem navigating to that page directly. The local host url is http://localhost:3000/index.html. I'm running my application using node server setup on my local system.

<a href="xyz.net/645636"> Example Link </a>

The link doesn't have any protocols. Could some one point out where am I doing it wrong?

It needs a protocol:

<a href="http://example.com/645636"> Example Link </a>

When you type the address into your browser without one, it adds it for you for convenience.
