Ok, the patch does not bring the capability that the RE seemed to
imply and it doesn't bring the capabilities that the modified
documentation for CURLOPT_NOPROXY state.

Even with the patch applied if a destination URL is specified with a
format such as 'host1.local.com' while --noproxy specifies the IP
address of host1.local.com the request will go through the proxy,
ignoring the --noproxy setting.

What the patch brings is the capability of filtering using an IP
subnet notation those URL's which have been given using the IP address
of the host.

Given this, in order to be committed or the code part of the patch is
reworked to fullfill the description, or the contrary is done.
