Curl: Bypass proxy for localhost

Question

I'm under a proxy, and if I try curl http://localhost/mysite or curl http://127.0.0.1/mysite curl try to resolve it with the proxy. So I tried with --noproxy option, but doesn't work. Is working ok for external servers with the proxy as curl http://mysite.com.

My configuration:

• Cygwin (bash) under Windows 8 with curl extension.
• Proxy: proxy.domain.xx:1080 without authentication
• http_proxy=http://proxy.domain.xx:1080
• Local Server: XAMP Version 1.8.0
• Apache ports: 80,443
• Browser: Chrome with proxy, but configured to access to localhost and *.dev

From the curl --help

--noproxy : Comma-separated list of hosts which do not use proxy

What I tried:

• I have deactivated the firewall and nothing

• $ curl -v http://localhost/mysite -> Debug:

  Response

• curl -v --noproxy localhost, http://localhost/muestra

  Response

Any idea how to fix this?

Answer 1

After

curl -v --noproxy localhost, http://localhost/muestra 

curl responded with

About to connect() to localhost port 80 (#0) * Trying 127.0.0.1...  * Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 80 (#0) 

So it clearly stated that it connected to localhost.
