Adding a proxy bypass

To allow the outbound HTTP and HTTPS requests sent by webMethods API Gateway to bypass a particular proxy, you must add the proxy to the Proxy Bypass list.

About this task

If you are using proxy servers for outbound HTTP or HTTPS requests, you can optionally route selected requests directly to their target servers, bypassing the proxy servers listed in the outbound proxies list. For information on outbound proxies, see Configuring proxy server alias.

The HTTP and HTTPS requests sent from webMethods API Gateway to remote servers are not directed through the proxies added in the Proxy Bypass screen.

Procedure

  1. Expand the menu options and select Administration.
  2. Select General > Proxy Bypass.
  3. In the Addresses field, provide the host name or IP of the proxy server that the HTTP and HTTPS requests must bypass.
    You can type the fully qualified host and domain name of each server to which you want the webMethods API Gateway to issue requests directly. Type the host name or the domain name exactly as they appear in the URLs that the server uses. To enter multiple names, separate each with commas. You can use the asterisk (*) to identify several servers with similar names. The asterisk matches any number of characters. For example, if you want to bypass requests made to localhost, www.yahoo.com, home.microsoft.com, and all hosts whose names begin with NYC, you would type:
    localhost,www.yahoo.com,home.microsoft.com, NYC*.*
  4. Click Add.
    The specified proxy server is displayed in the Addresses list.
  5. Click Save.
    The list is saved.
