What is the correct syntax for the nonProxyHosts option in system config

Question

Also if using -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts java option

Answer 1

The correct syntax would be to surround the hosts with quotes and seperate multiple hosts with a | character.

eg for system configuration "localhost|127.0.0.1|10.*.*.*|etc"

e.g. -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts="localhost|127.0.0.1|10.*.*.*|etc"

Note: When using DNS name a fully qualified name is required as they will not work with a wild card.

Example:

-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts="www.foo.com"

Not 

-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts="*.foo.com"
