# Lynx version 2.2 and beyond supports the use of proxy servers that can act as
# firewall gateways and caching servers.  They are preferable to the older
# gateway servers.  Each protocol used by Lynx can be mapped separately using
# PROTOCOL_proxy environment variables (see Lynx Users Guide).  If you have not set
# them externally, you can set them at run time via this configuration file.
# They will not override external settings.  The no_proxy variable can be used
# to inhibit proxying to selected regions of the Web (see below).  Note that on
# VMS these proxy variables are set as process logicals rather than symbols, to
# preserve lowercasing, and will outlive the Lynx image.
#
#
# Examples:
#http_proxy:http://some.server.dom:port/
#https_proxy:http://some.server.dom:port/
#ftp_proxy:http://some.server.dom:port/
#gopher_proxy:http://some.server.dom:port/
#news_proxy:http://some.server.dom:port/
#newspost_proxy:http://some.server.dom:port/

#no_proxy:host.domain.dom


NO_PROXY

# The no_proxy variable can be a comma-separated list of strings defining
# no-proxy zones in the DNS domain name space.  If a tail substring of the
# domain-path for a host matches one of these strings, transactions with that
# node will not be proxied.
#
# Example:
#no_proxy:domain.path1,path2
#
# A single asterisk as an entry will override all proxy variables and no
# transactions will be proxied.
#
# Example:
#no_proxy:*
# This is the only allowed use of * in no_proxy.
#
# Warning:  Note that setting 'il' as an entry in this list will block proxying
# for the .mil domain as well as the .il domain.  If the entry is '.il' this
# will not happen.
