Optionally, you can append a port number (for example, example.com:443). If a port
number is not appended, a port number of 443 is assumed.
Note: The sites that typically require exemption are software activation and update sites,
software that validates the site certificate (such as some instant messaging clients and
banking software), and any specific HTTPS sites you do not want scanned.
The following table lists the applications and domains of sites that you should add to the
Sites exempt from HTTPS scanning list in order to make those applications to work
properly for your users.
