Fully implement global proxy support

Because of a bug in V13 we learned that IT45561: ENABLE SUPPORT FOR HTTP PROXY ENV VARS HTTP_PROXY AND HTTPS_PROXY exists. 
While we requesting proxy support in every discovery connector we want to use, which then needs to be implemented and released separately, there is a feature already which almost gives us that functionality for free.

Yet one crucial thing is missing in form of a "noproxy" list of URLs which allows to direct the traffic to the proxy or through internal network based on endpoint URL.

Support told us that, in order to use APAR IT45561, we should create two different integration servers, one with the proxy configuration and one without. Overhead in resource and license consumption aside, this breaks as soon as you want to connect to a SaaS application and an internal application in the same flow.

We don't really understand why putting all the effort in developing dedicated proxy support in every connector, when the product is almost there with a global function.

By the way this would instantly also bring proxy capability to all of the Designer flows.

    Jörg,

    Thank you for taking the time to raise this request to IBM. We recognize the value this capability brings in simplifying proxy configuration and enabling more flexible connectivity across hybrid integration scenarios.

    This RFE has been selected for future consideration. Due to the scope and architectural complexity involved, this enhancement is expected to require multiple release cycles to fully deliver. We’ll keep you informed as planning progresses and as clearer delivery timelines become available.
