Description

I found this plugin not reading the global configuration http.proxy, so I was unable to use this plugin when I'm inside the company, cuz the network in the company does not allow direct connection to the external network, it requires a proxy, so I suggest reading the global setting: http.proxy

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the extension code that reads VS Code settings and makes outbound HTTP requests, then trace how proxy configuration is handled. Done when the global http.proxy setting is honored for the plugin's requests and the behavior is covered by an appropriate regression test.
