It goes like this,
 
$ sed 's|^http://\(.*/\)\(.*\)|<a href="\1\2">\1</a>|g;
> s|href="| href="http://|g' dummy.txt > clicklist.txt
$ echo $?
0
$ cat clicklist.txt
<a href="http://ipac3.vpl.ca/ipac20/ipac.js..">ipac3.vpl.ca/ipac20/</a>

Sorry,I can't see why it doesn't work for you.

Try again, or use the file which comes with this message.

* Save,
* make it executable, then
* ./clinks.sh inputfile > outputfile
