Epiphany proxy ignore-lists wildcards
Last modified: 2011-09-22 12:54:59 UTC
Epiphany 3.0.4 shows this bug; although I'm pretty sure earlier 3.0.x worked. A recent update broke it. (I guess webkit-backend. not really sure) Epiphany supports proxies, and supports setting an exclusing list using ignore-lists (org.gnome.system.proxy ignore-hosts) This no longer works with wildcards. eg. ['example.domain.com'] works, but neither ['.example.com'] nor ['*.example.com'] work. "works" => skips proxy.
It looks like someone at work had fun with an extra transparent proxy, which may have caused this trouble. I'm confirming.
This is actually GProxyResolverGnome's fault
fixed in git master. This will not be fixed in glib-networking 2.30.0, but should be in 2.30.1
