I'm not sure but I think this would be in the Team preferences. Moving to Platform/Team for comment.

Hi, any update on this one? An adopter product is looking for this change.

Do you have any news on this bug?

The goal is to add the host name of the machine to the HTTP proxy exception list in the preferences. Thereby HTTP clients connecting to the machine itself would not connect via the HTTP proxy and thus communication would not fail.

If host name would be automatically added to the HTTP proxy exception list, the user would not need to set this manually in each new workspace.

"localhost" and "127.0.0.1" are added to proxy bypass by default. They may be added without any additional actions.
The problem with host name is that it may be changed anytime, so we would have to do the system check every time workspace is loaded. In most of those checks we would learn that there's no action to be performed. And what if the hostname would change? Shall we remove the previous one or leave it? How would we know what was the previous hostname? We would have to add some API to mark it.
