FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_60"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows 2008 R2 SP1 x84

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Java programs does not honor http.nonProxyHosts value having wildcard * at end as shown:

http.nonProxyHosts="*.google.*"


Connections to say www.google.com still via Proxy rather than going Direct.




REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u60

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
java version "1.8.0_60"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1) Install a simple Proxy Server in a machine

2) Compile and run the source code given below in another machine (not the Proxy machine) with following argument:

java -Dhttps.proxyHost=10.**.*.*** -Dhttps.proxyPort=808 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts="*.google.*" testProxy.ProxyTest








EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
"https://www.google.com" connection traffic must not go via Proxy, it should go via Direct connection
ACTUAL -
"https://www.google.com" connection traffic still goes via Proxy

Proxy logs show CONNECT :

15:53:14 Unknown 10.75.3.180 CONNECT www.google.com:443 HTTP/1.1 HTTPS outgoing via 10.**.*.***

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
