Problem

Whenever I try to install any extension, using _ext install_, I get a connect ETIMEDOUT 191.238.172.191:443 error. Trying to navigate to https://191.238.172.191 in the browser produces a warning regarding the certificate being valid only for *.market.visualstudio.com, but I'm allowed to proceed. Shouldn't VSCode try to connect to the name instead of the IP? I'm behind a proxy, VSCode updates just fine behind it, and also lists the available extensions. The firewall here logs the invalid certificate but allows the connection to proceed. Doesn't look like a problem in my end... OS: Windows 7 VSCode: 0.10.1

Solution: Proxy support for extension gallery

Low Risk

I'm getting nearly the same thing although it never lists the available extensions for me. I get a `"self signed certificate in certificate chain"` error but I believe it is related to this issue as the rest is the same as well. OS: Windows 8.1 VSCode: 0.10.1
