Public bug reported:

The Proxy settings on Mahara is lacking the ability to set proxy
exceptions for bypassing required hosts. I have seen that usually proxy
exceptions are the part of proxy settings.

We come across this issue while implementing SSO between internal
servers (not exposed to the world) where proxy settings are used to
connect with outside world.

To solve this we have implemented this feature, by copying Moodle 2.X
code as this was the easiest way to achieve this without wasting a time
for writing this from scratch. It works and they have been tested with
all scenarios.

We are submitting the SVN patch with this as couldn't figure out how to
commit these changes via Gerrit/Mahara GIT.  This is confusing for me
but will still try to achieve this.
