How to bypass proxy

[mmelanco]

I am trying to find how to do that same as this winhttp library call to bypass proxy.

hInternetSession = ::InternetOpen(AfxGetAppName(), INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PROXY, NULL, "*", INTERNET_FLAG_DONT_CACHE | INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD);

I don't seem to find how to accomplish this in Poco Libraries.

Thanks,

You'll need to get the bypass list by some other means and check the IP address of the host against it.
If a proxy is needed, call setProxy() and setProxyCredentials() on the HTTPClientSession.

May be I do not understand how it is implemented in winhttp library. The bypass list * means all from what I understand. Which mean do not use the proxy ("Passes requests to the proxy unless a proxy bypass list is supplied and the name to be resolved bypasses the proxy."). If that is the case how do I accomplish that in Poco?

I guess the proper question would be if there is a way like the wininet call to get the proxy to establish trusted connection without having the explicitly pass them in. As I could not find a way to obtain proxy username and password automatically.

Hope this make sense.
