[Remote-SSH Bug]: Local server download fails on proxy #10474

Required Troubleshooting Steps

Connect Locally

It connects successfully

Error description

Since vscode version 1.94.0 the local remote server download fails in case of a proxy and has to be done manually. In our company our local vscode runs in Windows behind a proxy and we connect remotely to Linux servers. The local vscode is able to download and update any extension without the need of specifying the proxy settings, which are provided automatically by the Chromium kernel of vscode. In the past this worked also for the local remote server download. But since October 2024 the update of the remote vscode server always fails.

Steps To Reproduce

The setting for the server download is: "remote.SSH.localServerDownload": "always"
