vscode-toggleproxy's Issues

Extend proxy switching to npm, github?

Hi @satokaz ,

I am happy you have accepted the proposal.

In fact my "proxy issue" is wider than just 'vscode'. My issue is also related to 'npm' and 'github'. Every time I change work place, I've to switch proxy settings in '.npmrc' and '.gitconfig' located in the windows user folder (I do not use linux).

Do you have the same issue? Do you have a magic solution to "easily" switch the proxy mode of npm and git?

What about doing it via 'vscode-toggleProxy'? Can be an interesting exercise, we may work on it together if you are interested ;-)

Callback must be a function

When i toggle on/off the proxy i read this notification. i cannot find any log about this error...

the extension comment only http.proxy in settings.json, not http.proxyStrictSSL or http.proxyAuthorization

Request in #9

Running the contributed command: 'extension.toggleProxy' failed.

os: windows 10 21H1
vscode:

My request is very simple. I just need a switch to turn off the proxy.

I read the previous issue, but it didn't help me.

Running the contributed command:'extension.toggleProxy' fail.

Hey,

• macOS 10.12.6 (16G1311),
• VS Code 1.21.0,
• Toggle Proxy 0.4.4

I'm getting Running the contributed command:'extension.toggleProxy' fail. error from notificationsAlerts.ts

On the other side looks like Toggle Proxy toggles http_proxy in user settings:
