No proxy for local machine (FoxyProxy)

Title: No proxy for local machine

sparfitt - October 26, 2006 03:12 PM (GMT)

Hi,

Can I configure foxyproxy to not use a proxy for local machines? I would like to access our local servers such as:

http://sup14
http://dev01

At the moment the proxy has a fit an won't let me access them via firefox.

Hi sparfitt,

Yes, you can do this with a PAC file. The PAC file can be saved on your local hard drive or on a webserver. Read this to understand what a PAC file is, then use the isPlainHostName() function; e.g.

(untested)

CODE

function FindProxyForURL(url, host){
if (isPlainHostName(host)) {
return "DIRECT"
}
else {
return "SOCKS proxy.bar.com:1050"
}
}

Is it possible to expand this to take 127.0.0.1 into account?

Yes.

CODE

function FindProxyForURL(url, host){
if (isPlainHostName(host) || localHostOrDomainIs(host, "127.0.0.1")) {
return "DIRECT"
}
else {
return "SOCKS proxy.bar.com:1050"
}
}
