172228 - Proxy: passthrough support (more "intelligent"?)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 72444

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Loic Fabro]

Version: 0.2 (Build 20021001)

When a proxy is used, it does not seem possible to use "internal hostnames".

Example of URL:

http://myownntserver/webpage.html

This type of request would go to the proxy instead of not using it (and of 
course the proxy can not be configured to find out if the address is internal 
or not! ;-) ).

[Should I mentioned that IE has the "bypass proxy for local addresses" setting?]

Me trying to speak English.... :-(

Sorry, for that stupid description. Let me rephrase this:

When I use a URL of the type:
http://hostname/webpage.html

I would think that the request would _not_ be routed to the proxy server 
(similar to the "bypass proxy for local addresses" setting of IE).

Edit>Advanced>Proxies. Click on Help, and it will explain how to fill in the "No 
proxy for" section. Mine is "netscape.com, mcom.com"

REOPEN:

John, I think the problem is that http://server with a default domain of
"netscape.com" will not match for "no proxy" with the config you described.
