@kferrone Can you try setting the Http: Proxy Support to override in VS Code and retry logging in?

[kferrone]

Setting Proxy Support to Override did the trick. Thank you. It says override is the default but I had it set to On for some reason?

@pankajk07

I found out why I had Proxy Support set to on. In one of my vscode workspaces I have the GCP extension. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GoogleCloudTools.cloudcode

This has a kubernetes explorer. I just got the reverse error now.

VS Code is overriding HTTP request options such as custom CA certificates set in the KubeConfig for this cluster. Please set 'http.proxySupport' in settings to either 'on' or 'off'. Note that you may need to restart VS Code for this setting change to take effect.
Cannot list namespaces: VS Code is overriding HTTP request options such as custom CA certificates set in the KubeConfig for this cluster. Please set 'http.proxySupport' in settings to either 'on' or 'off'. Note that you may need to restart VS Code for this setting change to take effect.. The Kubernetes Explorer will use the argocd namespace.

If I turn it on, I can use the Kubernetes explorer but not postman. If it set to override, Postman is fine but cloud code won't show kubernetes.

This just means Postman and the Google Cloud Code extensions don't like to be running together.

No issues for me, just letting you know. I usually use the Microsoft Kubernetes extension anyway which plays just fine with Postman.
