How I resolve "Downloading VS Code Server failed" while using vs code on MacOs
Solution 1:
If you are behind a proxy, create a file named .wgetrc in your home directory and add the following lines:
use_proxy=on
http_proxy=http://<my-proxy.company.net:port>
https_proxy=http://<my-proxy.company.net:port>
If needed, for one time, add:
check-certificate=off
Note: Disabling certificate check is not recommended as it can be a security threat.
Solution 2:
Add a line of :
check-certificate=off
to your .wgetrc
file under the user's home directory.
Note: It will disable the SSL certificate check for all wget commands you use, unless you change it to :
check-certificate=on
Solution 3:
Configuring WSL behind proxy:
I will provide my solution that works for me.
In WSL subsystem add file in /etc/apt/apt.conf
with proxy setting:
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://user:password@server_addr:port";
Acquire::https::Proxy "http://user:password@server_addr:port";
After that, add another setting in ~/.wgetrc
file:
use_proxy = on
check_certificate = off
http_proxy = http://user:password@server_addr:port
https_proxy = http://user:password@server_addr:port
ftp_proxy = http://user:password@server_addr:port
After that, try to install the Visual Studio Code plugin for remote wsl
.
It should work.
