This can be annoying for users behind company firewalls, where the company has hosts both inside and outside the firewall that are in the same domain - eg they're all *.company.com. The only way to distinguish between intranet and internet hosts is using the subnet - unless you list every single combination on the subnet (or just try to maintain a list of IP addresses for each host that fails).
I would dispute the 'low' importance. This is actually 'quite' important...bordering on 'very'. -- intrepid: network proxy ignore host list ignored for wildcard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284250 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
