Test: Proxy Support

[chrmarti]

Testing #60773

• anyOS @misolori
• anyOS @joaomoreno

Complexity: 5

This is controlled through the "http.proxySupport": "override" setting. Test the following scenarios:

• Proxy with authentication, using the "http.proxy" setting.
• Proxy with authentication, using the HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY env variables.
• Proxy auto-config file, using the OS settings to point to a local file.

To run a proxy locally:

docker run -e SQUID_USERNAME=foo -e SQUID_PASSWORD=bar -p 3128:3128 robhaswell/squid-authenticated

Make sure that all connections initiated from the extension host go through the configured proxy. The "http.proxy" setting takes precedence over the env variables which take precedence over the OS settings.

Authentication via OS settings is not supported at the moment.

@chrmarti I'm assuming this isn't available on insiders since we reverted yesterday's version?

[chrmarti]

@misolori It's "http.proxySupport" now. The default is off, for testing please use "override" which should eventually become the default.

To help with testing, use the following extension:

http-test-0.0.1.zip

It will put 2 commands in the command palette:

• Make HTTP Request
• Make HTTPS Request

@chrmarti @joaomoreno The http.proxySupport set to "override" breaks out C/C++ extension's ability to download our Insider vsix. Please advise us on how we can workaround this issue. I filed #65118 .
