How to Use 'curl no proxy' to Bypass Proxy Settings? or Why Isn't 'curl no proxy' Working for My Requ

Dude, I feel your pain. curl no proxy is weirdly inconsistent. One thing that worked for me:

`curl -v --noproxy "*" http://example.com`

The `-v` flag lets you see if curl is *actually* bypassing the proxy. If it’s still using one, the verbose output will show it.

Also, maybe your network admin is forcing a proxy? Corporate networks love to do that.
