Error description

• It is not possible to configure the HTTP Proxy to forward to
  another HTTP Proxy when using more than one negative hostname
  rule.
  
  For example, registration.xml contains the following:
  
  <proxy host="localhost" port="33128" useWhenStubbing="false"
  filter="~*company1.com"/>
  
  This correctly forwards all requests EXCEPT those ending in
  company1.com to the onward proxy.
  
  If registration.xml contains this:
  
  <proxy host="localhost" port="33128" useWhenStubbing="false"
  filter="~*company1.com|~*company2.com"/>
  
  This should pass everything except company1 & company2 to the
  onward proxy.
  
  This configuration causes all requests to be passed to the
  onward proxy.
