Does somebody have an idea on how to configure Positron
This question came to my mind while affected by #6694 and #3543 saved my day for now, but I look for a cleaner solution. Maybe Positron (or its upstream components) do evaluate the system config but fail to do so on the NO_PROXY aspect. If it failed completely Positron would not even be able to update extensions (which it successfully does). UpdateC:\Users\[redacted]\Positron.exe --proxy-pac-url=http://[redacted]/proxy.pac does not work sufficiently (R help pane remains blank). |

I don't think there's a cleaner solution than I dug into this a little bit and was able to reproduce your issue using devproxy. Typically Electron based apps are smart enough to bypass the system proxy when loading local URLs, but the Help pane in Positron is not issuing the requests directly -- it's going through a proxy that lives in a different process. That proxy is responsible for the problem. Here's the issue w/ more details: #8426 |
