IWMPNetwork::setProxyExceptionList method

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The setProxyExceptionList method specifies the proxy exception list.

Syntax

public void setProxyExceptionList(
  System.String bstrProtocol,
  System.String pbstrExceptionList
);

Public Sub setProxyExceptionList( _
  ByVal bstrProtocol As System.String, _
  ByVal pbstrExceptionList As System.String _
)
Implements IWMPNetwork.setProxyExceptionList

Parameters

bstrProtocol [in]

A System.String that is the protocol name. For a list of supported protocols, see Supported Protocols and File Types.

pbstrExceptionList [in]

A System.String that is a semicolon-delimited list of hosts for which the proxy server is bypassed. Leading and trailing spaces should not be present.

Return value

This method does not return a value.

Remarks

This is a list of computers, domains, and/or addresses that will bypass the proxy server when the host portion of the target URL matches an entry in the list.

The * character can be used as a wildcard character for listing entries. For example, *.com would match all hosts in the com domain, while 67.* would match all hosts in the 67 class A subnet.

This method has no effect unless the value retrieved from IWMPNetwork.getProxySettings is 2 (use manual settings).

This method fails unless the calling application is running on the local computer or intranet.

Examples

The following code example uses setProxyExceptionList to specify a list of hosts for which the proxy server is bypassed when using the MMS protocol. The new list is retrieved from a text box when a button is clicked. The AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer object is represented by the variable named player.

private void setExList_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // Test whether proxy settings are manual.
    if (player.network.getProxySettings("MMS") == 2)
    {
        // Store the user's new exception list.
        string proxyxlist = exListText.Text;

        // Set the exception list.
        player.network.setProxyExceptionList("MMS", proxyxlist);
    }
    else
    {
        // Warn that the proxy settings must be set to 2 (manual).
        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Proxy settings must be manual!");
    }
}

Public Sub setExList_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles setExList.Click

    ' Test whether proxy settings are manual.
    If (player.network.getProxySettings("MMS") = 2) Then

        ' Store the user's new exception list.
        Dim proxyxlist As String = exListText.Text

        ' Set the exception list.
        player.network.setProxyExceptionList("MMS", proxyxlist)

    Else

        ' Warn that the proxy settings must be set to 2 (manual).
        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Proxy settings must be manual!")

    End If

End Sub
