When excluding a whole subnet from proxy routing like "localhost,200.0.0.0/18",
a link like http://hostname will nevertheless be forwarded to the proxy.
(hostname in subnet assumed).  It only bypasses the proxy, when entering the
full qualified domain name "http://hostname.intranet.domain.com". 
An(insufficient) workaround is, to exclude "localhost,200.0.0.0/18,hostname"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1."No Proxy for" = "localhost, 192.168.100.0/24"
2. http://webserver    (webserver=192.168.100.10)
3. 

Actual Results:  

webserver no found, as routed through proxy


Expected Results:  

to find webserver without using proxy

putting *.ac.uk for example works. It's a mistake in the comment in the proxy
dialog. It says .ac.uk is all you have to type but the * is necc.
I'm not sure this has to depend on bug 136789 which is about resolving names to
addresses before checking to disable the proxy.  I'd like to see a simple way to
disable the proxy for all names which are not fully qualified.
How about a simple dot "." to disable all unqualified names?
Christopher: That is a different bug, see bug 91587.
