vscode-xml: Error downloading external schemas

I keep getting an occasional error when vscode xml is trying to download external schemas:

Error while downloading 'http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd' to /home/mike/.lsp4xml/cache/http/www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd.

I’ve no doubt that our company networking could be at fault, but is there an easy way to force vscode to retry downloading an individual schema? If I delete the local cache under ~/.lsp4xml and restart vscode, it will re-download them. However, I’ll often hit the same problem again.

Thanks

Hello , I managed to make this error disappear by putting https instead of http on the urls of maven instances: <project xmlns=“### https😕/maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0” xmlns:xsi=“### https😕/www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance” Thanks

For people who don’t know where xml.server.vmargs should be set in vscode, it’s likely to be placed under ~/.config/Code/User/settings.json on Linux. And the proxy host, the user name, and the encrypted password should be the same as ~/.m2/settings.xml. You store your encrypted master password here ~/.m2/settings-security.xml. You should have set it up otherwise mvn wouldn’t be able to get through the proxy either.

You can find the official maven page to encrypt your master password and proxy password.
