vscode: Marketplace returns net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

Though it might be in bad taste, I have already documented the issue in detail here: https://superuser.com/questions/1490528/visual-studio-code-marketplace-returns-err-empty-response

The issue persists with the latest update available to me, 1.40.0-insider ( https://az764295.vo.msecnd.net/insider/37d34176a6ecf1d09b16a0cad11bb619f3b1e48f/code-insider-1572603801.tar.gz ; I am using the script provided by https://gist.github.com/joaomoreno/7d3926e67e91317cd9d053c2c3956ddc to update). I am on Gentoo, latest updates. The system’s GCC flags, which I have set in make.conf, are highly unlikely to be related to the issue in any way whatsoever, as the marketplace did work before some time around mid-August with pretty similar flags and the link which returns the empty response in VS Code has a proper response in Firefox Nightly.

And yes, I tried --disable-extensions, but it did not help. And no, I am not behind any kind of proxy.

@joaomoreno On that note, how about having --no-proxy-server as one of the flags to use during troubleshooting instead of just saying “Check your proxy settings.”, especially given that it’s possible to be in a situation similar to mine? Just a though.

Have a nice day!

I have finally found a solution! I came across https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/13829 today. In there, I saw an option, --no-proxy-server. I went like “Eh, might as well…”. Well, it works!!!

Now, I also came across this ticket as well: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/21253 According to it, it is a confirmed issue with Electron version 7. Why did I think to look into Electron itself? Well, I already said it here: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/electron-applications-unable-to-connect-to-internet/151788
