System Setting -> Network -> Network Proxy it isn't possible to define proxy exceptions

[Marko Weiß]

Hi all,

in Ubuntu 14.04
System Setting -> Network -> Network Proxy it isn't possible to define proxy exceptions.

It has to be possible to define proxy exceptions in following way IP, IP Networks, Domains (e.g. .launchpad.net, 192.168.0.0/24) to make sure that internal company networks can be reached. Because if they are also routed over the proxy, connection is not possible. Because proxy is only used to reach the external IP world.

Would be really good if you could make this possible :)

Regards

A pity that there is no one assigned to search for a solution to this regression in Ubuntu.

In our research institution, we are also affected by the unability to define proxy exceptions. :-/

For browsing the net, we can do that in Firefox directly. But for other GUI programs reusing variables set somewhere else in unity, it's a pity that we don't know how to avoid this issue.

Any config file where we can manually write that no_proxy values?

Searching for adding proxy exceptions on the net lead me to the attatched image, so I would assume that the actual application is capable of displaying the proxy exceptions but it is not a ubuntu screensot so it may be a matter of configuration of the network application?
