Proxy configuration

Install dconf-editor and open dconf-editor -> system -> proxy, than add your hosts to ignore-hosts on this window and that’s all.

Another way with gconftool

gconftool --recursive-list /system/http_proxy

# get the current contents of the /system/http_proxy/ignore_hosts
gconftool -g  /system/http_proxy/ignore_hosts

# Next copy its contents into the next command and add the host you want to add.
gconftool  --type list --list-type string  -s /system/http_proxy/ignore_hosts '[localhost,127.0.0.0/8,myhost]'
