cannot get localhost blacklist working

Fri, 05/01/2009 - 22:42 — xrd

I've tried everything I can think of to get FoxyProxy to ignore localhost requests. This is a picture of what I have configured now. Does anyone see anything I am missing?

This is what I see when I try to access localhost:

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Hi, Your patterns look fine.

Hi,

Your patterns look fine. Are you sure FoxyProxy is set to "Use proxies based on their pre-defined patterns and priorities"? If FoxyProxy isn't in that mode, your patterns will be ignored. By the way, you can also turn on FoxyProxy logging (on FoxyProxy's logging tab) to see which proxy (or none) is used to load URLs.

where is "use proxies based on their pre-defined patterns..."

Eric,

Thanks for the response. Where is this setting? I just looked at the FoxyProxy settings and could not find it in the dialog.
