  If the host name matches one of these strings, or the host is within the

  proxied. When a domain is used, it needs to start with a period. A user can

  specify that both www.example.com and foo.example.com should not uses a

  proxy by setting NO_PROXY to ".example.com". By including the full name you

  can exclude specific host names, so to make www.example.com not use a proxy

  but still have foo.example.com do it, set NO_PROXY to "www.example.com"



  The usage of the -x/--proxy flag overrides the environment variables.

If the name in the noproxy list has a leading period, it is a domain match

against the provided host name. This way ".example.com" will switch off proxy

use for both "www.example.com" as well as for "foo.example.com".



The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this

option.
