In case of the no_proxy environment variable this can be tested by issuing "echo $no_proxy" on the command line.

In all likelihood, the ASP.NET user (probably www-data, the Apache/Nginx/Lighttpd user) doesn't even have NO_PROXY set in its environment, since it doesn't make sense to set it. If you want NO_PROXY to propagate to the web server's environment, you'll have to edit its startup scripts to do so.

Hope that helps.
