In HTML, if you want to specify an absolute URL, the "href" attribute must start with "http(s)://". Otherwise, the "href" attribute is considered to be relative to the URL of the current page (i.e., the browser simply appends it to the current URL). The URL you see when hovering over the link is generated by the browser, not web2py (if you look at the page's source code, you will simply see href="www.huffingtonpost.com", which the browser assumes is really a request for http://127.0.0.1:8000/welcome/view_a_site/www.huffingtonpost.com).
You are receiving the traceback because the view_a_site action expects an integer in request.args(0) (which is used in a DAL query), but of course it is instead the string "www.huffingtonpost.com". So, just change the href to "http://www.huffingtonpost.com";.
