What are patterns?
FoxyProxy patterns are rules that define a group of URLs. These rules are expressed with wildcards and regular expressions. For example, http://*.yahoo.com/* is wildcard pattern that defines all HTTP (but not HTTPS) URLs that are subdomains of .yahoo.com. The FoxyProxy rules engine uses the patterns you define to determine which URLs should be loaded through proxies and which should be loaded through a direct internet connection.
