ProxyExclusionsHTTP

 

Type

 

String Collection

 

Description

 

The HTTP proxy exclusion list, identifying a set of destination hosts which are to be accessed directly regardless of any specified proxy server.

 

Example

REM avoid using a proxy server for mydomain1.com and mydomain2.com only:

WebsterPro1.ProxyExclusionHTTP.RemoveAll

WebsterPro1.ProxyExclusionHTTP.Add “mydomain1.com”

WebsterPro1.ProxyExclusionHTTP.Add “mydomain2.com”

 

Remarks

 

When ProxyServerHTTP and ProxyPortHTTP are specified, the proxy server functions as a gateway to the ultimate destination. The HTTP proxy exclusion list provides a way to specify a list of destination hosts for which the proxy should not be used.

 

This is typically used by organizations which require the proxy server for access to the outside world but allow direct access to servers “inside” the organization. By including these “inside” servers in the exclusion list they tell Webster to access these hosts directly, bypassing the proxy server, while all other hosts are still accessed through the proxy server.

 

The exclusion list is “tail-matched”, so that specifying host x.y.com results in bypassing the proxy for a.x.y.com, b.x.y.com as well as x.y.com.
