I am trying to have two applications bypass the proxy by adding
exception in IE. One address is subdomain.domain.com the other is
subdomain.domain.com/somesuffix. You would think that *.domain.com would do it but it only allows the exception with out the suffix through. The app that uses the url with a suffix still hits the proxy. Why is this?

See the IE documentation on how to write exceptions. Not entirely sure
what syntax they use there..

Interesting. I just ran into this problem with content in one directory that needed to be handled differently from the rest of the content on the web server. I thought that I could handle this with a shExpMatch(url, "string") function in the proxy.pac file.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work consistently as you run up against Windows' default web proxy cacheing behaviour that does not allow exceptions for a given web server or host. If the URL of the first access to a given host results in a DIRECT being returned, IE will use DIRECT for all content on the given host. If a PROXY is returned, IE will use the proxy for all content on the specific host.

The last problem can be resolved but requires a Windows Registry change to define "enableProxyResultsCache" and set its value to 0 to disable the caching. I recommend that you search Microsoft's Knowledge Base for the above string. I don't remember the exact syntax and the article that I found had it wrong. :(


What can I do to get the same domain with a suffix and without to bypass the proxy? If I add them both to the exceptions in IE I get which ever
one I list first bypassing the proxy and the other does not.

For full control write a PAC script instead of using the manual proxy
settings & exceptions.
