[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 getProxyExceptionList method retrieves the proxy exception list.

Syntax

strRetVal = Network.getProxyExceptionList(
  protocol
)

Parameters

protocol [in]: String specifying the protocol name. For a list of supported protocols, see Supported Protocols and File Types.

Return value

This method returns a String specifying a semicolon-delimited list of hosts for which the proxy server is bypassed. The value returned is meaningful only when getProxySettings returns a value of two (use manual settings).

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

Windows Media Player 10 Mobile: This method is not supported.

Examples

The following JScript example uses Network.getProxyExceptionList to display the lists of bypassed proxies for the MMS and HTTP protocols. The Player object was created with ID = "Player".

// Test whether the HTTP proxy settings are manual.
if (Player.network.getProxySettings("HTTP") == 2)

   // Get the proxy exception list for HTTP.
   var proxyExceptionListHTTP = Player.network.getProxyExceptionList("HTTP");

// Test whether the MMS proxy settings are manual.
if (Player.network.getProxySettings("MMS") == 2)

   // Get the proxy exception list for MMS.
   var proxyExceptionListMMS = Player.network.getProxyExceptionList("MMS");

// Display the proxy exception lists in the browser client area.
// Unavailable proxy exception lists will display as "undefined".
document.write("The current HTTP proxy exception list: " + proxyExceptionListHTTP);
document.write("<BR>");
document.write("The current MMS proxy exception list: " + proxyExceptionListMMS);
