vlc and libproxy confusion

[rh]

Hi everybody,
can anyone help me to set the libproxy options/files to prevent VLC to look at the Webproxy for http://localhost?

(from cvlc -vvv http://localhost:37890)

0x8fad1ec] main access debug: looking for access module: 2 candidates
Blocked: call to setenv("_PX_CONFIG_ORDER", "", 1)
Blocked: call to setlocale(6, "")
[0x8fad1ec] access_http access debug: asking libproxy about url 'http://localhost:37890'
Warning: call to signal(13, 0x1)
[0x8fad1ec] access_http access debug: libproxy suggest to use 'http://<myProxyURL>:80'
[0x8fad1ec] access_http access debug: http: server='localhost' port=37890 file=''
[0x8fad1ec] access_http access debug: proxy <myProxyURL>:80
[0x8fad1ec] main access debug: net: connecting to <myProxyURL> port 80

I try with /etc/proxy.conf and <Home>.proxy.conf but i think there are syntax error(s).
Thanks a lot for any assistance

Hi,
based on the doc of libproxy i use the link syntax like this:

http://direct://<SourceOfHttpStreamingServer>

Works well.

The correct solution is to use the ignore features of the proxy configuration. This exists in GNOME Proxy settings, KDE proxy settings and also envvar (unfortunately I don't just know which proxy config you're using, where libproxy get's them from for you).

by using envvar, the NO_PROXY variabale is what you would set as an exclusion for localhost.
GNOME and KDE Proxy settings should be straight forward to define properly.
