9## space-separated `NOPROXY` patterns
10
11When specifying patterns/domain names for curl that should *not* go through a
12proxy, the curl tool features the `--noproxy` command line option and the
13library supports the `NO_PROXY` environment variable and the `CURLOPT_NOPROXY`
14libcurl option.
15
16They all set the same list of patterns. This list is documented to be a set of
17**comma-separated** names, but can also be provided separated with just
18space. The ability to just use spaces for this has never been documented but
19some users may still have come to rely on this.
20
21Several other tools and utilities also parse the `NO_PROXY` environment
22variable but do not consider a space to be a valid separator. Using spaces for
23separator is probably less portable and might cause more friction than commas
24do. Users should use commas for this for greater portability.
25
26curl will remove the support for space-separated names in July 2024.
