[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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

Network.setProxyExceptionList(
  protocol,
  list
)

Parameters

protocol [in]: String specifying the protocol name. For a list of supported protocols, see Supported Protocols and File Types.
list [in]: String specifying a semicolon-delimited list of hosts for which the proxy server is bypassed.

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 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 getProxySettings returns a value of 2 (use manual settings).

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.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 an HTML TEXT element with ID = "XLIST". The Player object was created with ID = "Player".

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

   // Store the user's new exception list.
   var proxyxlist = XLIST.value;

   // Set the exception list.
   Player.network.setProxyExceptionList("MMS", proxyxlist);
}

else

// Warn that the proxy settings must be set to 2.
alert("Proxy settings must be manual!");
