Description Forgotten User QtBI7gWTIh 2008-06-14 10:34:07 UTC
Hello,

Is it possible to adapt the Proxy Module, that we can insert on "no_proxy" IP Addresses like 192.168.0.0/16, 172.xx.xx.xx/24, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/29 this is normal by the most Applications ?

It is certainly possible to make that happen in Yast, the only question is whether any application can make use of $no_proxy variable in the 'IP/mask' form. 

Guenther, do you know of any such application? (example: web browser, downloader, ftp client,...)

For example, libzypp (thus, package management as such) currently does not support  it and can work only with exact hostname or IP matches. The support for $no_proxy variable in IP/mask form would have to be added to libzypp and it is not exactly trivial to implement it (i.e. it is a feature request and it would have to be handled by project management)

IE6 - 7, Mozilla Firefox and Thunder.. and so on ... ;)

In Mozilla Firefox it is as "sample" defined

( Beispiel: .mozilla.org, .net.de, 192.168.10/24 )


When I do this manual in /et/sysconfig/proxy I mean I have no Problems (??), but the YaST Module can't read this ?
