System Property - glide.http.proxy_bypass_list

[sheker]

Does anyone know what is the purpose of the system property - glide.http.proxy_bypass_list?

Hi @sheker ,

The "glide.http.proxy_bypass_list" system property in ServiceNow is used to specify a list of hosts and IP addresses that should be accessed directly instead of through the configured HTTP proxy server.

When a user tries to access a website or external service from ServiceNow, the request is sent through the configured HTTP proxy server by default. However, some websites or services may not work properly when accessed through a proxy server, or they may require a direct connection for security reasons.

In these cases, the "glide.http.proxy_bypass_list" system property can be used to specify a list of hosts and IP addresses that should be accessed directly, bypassing the configured HTTP proxy server. This allows users to access these services without encountering any issues caused by the proxy server.

The value of the "glide.http.proxy_bypass_list" property should be a comma-separated list of hostnames or IP addresses that should be bypassed. The entries in the list can include wildcard characters, allowing you to bypass entire domains or IP ranges.

We have an implementation where a process has to talk to ServiceNow and an intranet application. I tried to add the intranet domain to this property, but looks like this property didn't help.
