Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Michel Rondeau]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; fr-FR; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; fr-FR; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

If I put list of exclusions in the "No Proxy for" field that includes wildcards
like "*.bnc.ca", it failed to work

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Must be behind a proxy server with a list of sites accessible without the proxy
2. Enter site names in "No proxy for" field like example below : "*.bnc.ca"
3. 

Actual Results:  
Information entered seams to be ignored

Expected Results:  
All sites with URL should be accessible without proxy like "intranet.bnc.ca" or
"www.bnc.ca", "support.bnc.ca" etc. in our example.

Duplicate of Bug 48718?

It affects both name- and IP-specified hosts e.g. *.mozilla.org, 10.*.*.*.  I'm
using Firefox/0.9.

What works is ".bnc.ca" for the IE syntax "*.bnc.ca". See the help tips under
the input field in the connection settings.

Not so easy are IP ranges, see Bug 80918. But unless IE, that doesn't work for
DNS resolved hosts, see Bug 136789.

Correct syntax for that is ".mozilla.org, 10.0/8".

Hope this helps. Because this bug report is about wildcards I still think this
is a dupe of bug 48718.

For a better documentation for the syntax for IP ranges in "no proxy for" see
Bug 222127.

This is probably a dupe of bug 48718, hence I'm marking one.

Reporter, if you feel this is incorrect please feel free to reopen.

V/dupe.
Sure. IP vs. FQDN (DNS) are different, but sure.

Actually, this has worked in Mozilla for some time, so this might be firefox only.

Can someone test both? You can do this w/o a proxy, just set your proxy to
something fake like "server, 8080". Set your "no proxy for" setting to
"*.mozilla.org". If you can access www.mozilla.org, then this is working as
expected.

The *.mozilla.org format works for me in FF1.0.

However, the 10.*.*.* format does not. As mentioned earlier, the 10.0/8 format
works fine. Does the suite support the IP wildcards?

Gavin: we won't support wildcards of octets in IP addresses because the format
has too many limitations (the syntax is inherently classed). The CDIR
(number/mask) format is the way to go.

Michel: you are the reporter. Does this work for you? One other thing to
mention, since you seem like a possible IE user. The entries cannot be separated
by a ";" we use "," and " " as delimiters.
