IWMPNetwork::getProxyExceptionList method (wmp.h)

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The getProxyExceptionList method retrieves the proxy exception list.

Syntax

HRESULT getProxyExceptionList(
  [in]  BSTR bstrProtocol,
  [out] BSTR *pbstrExceptionList
);

Parameters

[in] bstrProtocol

BSTR containing the protocol name. For a list of supported protocols, see Supported Protocols and File Types.

[out] pbstrExceptionList

Pointer to a BSTR containing a semicolon-delimited list of hosts for which the proxy server is bypassed. The value retrieved is meaningful only when IWMPNetwork::getProxySettings retrieves a value of 2 (use manual settings).

Return value

The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Return code Description
S_OK
The method succeeded.

Remarks

This is a list of computers, domains, and/or addresses that will bypass the proxy server when the host portion of the target URL matches an entry in the list.

The * character can be used as a wildcard for listing entries. For example, .com would match all hosts in the com domain while 67. would match all hosts in the 67 class A subnet.

This method fails unless the calling application is running on the local computer or intranet.

Windows Media Player 10 Mobile: This method always returns E_INVALIDARG.

Requirements
