TOUGH LIFE BEHIND A PROXY

In many enterprises when it comes to Internet access you will find yourself
behind a proxy server. In such conditions many application do require a specific
setup or they will not work at all. Recently I had to install a npm package from
the official public npm repository and the “usual” command doesn’t work. Thus in
case of npm client behind a proxy server, you need to pass the following
argument --proxy.

My command from:

npm install -g tfx-cli

became

npm --proxy http://my.proxy.com:8080 install -g tfx-cli

Also, as I am actively using Visual Studio Code, I had an unpleasant surprise.
If you do tend to install a Visual Studio Code extension (plugin) and you are
behind a proxy, at the moment you are doomed. There is no way, in the latest
version at the time of writing, to install Visual Studio Code extension if
behind a proxy.

When it comes to .NET software development, all of the commonly used classes as
HttpClient do cope well with proxy, the only problems is that developers rarely
think about it and do not implement adequate support. In this particular case
specifying a proxy in HttpClientHandler is the solution, which then needs to be
passed to the HttpClient constructor.

So fellow developers please have mercy for all of the people behind a proxy, it
ain’t an easy life!
