WebCmdlets Investigation on the usage of webProxy.BypassProxyOnLocal

[CarloToso]

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

When we use the -Proxy parameter in Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod BypassProxyOnLocal is always set to false (the default value)

PowerShell/src/Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Utility/commands/utility/WebCmdlet/Common/WebRequestPSCmdlet.Common.cs

Line 901 in 6055a82

webProxy.BypassProxyOnLocal = false;

The only way I found to set it to true is:

$request = Invoke-WebRequest http://example.com -SessionVariable session
$proxy = [System.Net.WebProxy]::New()
$proxy.BypassProxyOnLocal = $true
$session.Proxy = $proxy

Is this the desired behaviour?

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

No response

Perhaps it was used in Windows PowerShell. But now BypassProxyOnLocal is dead code for years.

There are two options:

• mark the property as Obsolete
• try to implement the functionality in WebProxy class (Then we need a custom list of local addresses)

I think this issue will be fixed by #19609
