All of my .json files have problems loading reference/schema from schemastore.azurewebsites.net

Question

I\'m working in VS Code and started getting this error yesterday. All of my json files have this error, not just a few. If I remember right there was an update to the program

Answer 1

After banging my head against this for longer than I care to admit, I just needed to add the proxyAuthorization value for my Base64 encoded credentials, and did not need the proxy or proxyStrictSSL values.

I already had my proxy correctly configured in my environment variables. It only has the domain and port, not my credentials, ex. "HTTP_PROXY" "http://example.com:port/".

I used this C# code in LINQPad to get the proxyAuthorization value from my credentials:

var pw = "user@example.com:password";
var base64Encoded = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(pw));
base64Encoded.Dump();

This is what I have in my user settings.json, using the encoded string from the above code dump.

"http.proxyAuthorization": "BASE64_ENCODED_VALUE"

Note: I believe that if I didn't need the full username with email address in the credentials for our proxy to let me out, I could have used an above solution. But since I did, this was the only way I could get it to work.
