JR53284: SPECIFYING EXCLUDED PROXY HOSTS IN 100CUSTOM.XML DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY

8.5.0.1-WS-BPM-IFJR53284
Version 8.5.0 Fix Pack 2 for the IBM Business Process Manager products
Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 7 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In the 100Custom.xml configuration file, you can specify proxy
  settings to be used for http connections and https connections.
  According to the Java specification for proxies, one common list
  for the excluded-hosts setting must be used for both http and
  https connections.
  
  However, the list of excluded hosts is not used for https
  connections. In addition, although the Java specification states
  host name patterns can use a wildcard symbol, host name patterns
  that use a wildcard symbol do not work.
  
  As a result, all https connections are routed through the proxy,
  even if the host name used in the https connection is mentioned
  in the excluded-hosts setting, and host name patterns that use a
  wildcard symbol are ignored.
