Additional Info

To configure a specific URL for an internal site that already has the Catch All proxy URL configuration in place (http://.* <http://.*/> ), place the new URL before the Catch All proxy URL as described in the example below.

Example

BlackBerry device users need to browse internal web sites and can currently only browse external web sites. The current proxy mappings are configured with http://.* or the default long universal string. To configure the proxy mappings, the specific entries should come before the Catch All setting. The Catch All setting will only be evaluated if the web site the BlackBerry device user is browsing does not meet the first criteria in the list.
The resulting list should look like the following:

http://<internal_server_name>.*
http://.*

where <internal_server_name> is the specific server that will be accessed internally
