All of my .json files have problems loading reference/schema from schemastore.azurewebsites.net

Question

I'm working in VS Code and started getting this error yesterday. All of my json files have this error, not just a few. If I remember right there was an update to the program yesterday or the day before. Did the update break something or reset a setting that I forgot I had set?

When looking this up, people are talking about downloading the schema and using it locally, but I would prefer not to have to do that and would instead like to find out why this broke?

I am using a proxy, but as far as I know that hasn't changed. Here's the exact error I'm getting.

Problems loading reference 'https://schemastore.azurewebsites.net/schemas/json/package.json': Unable to load schema from 'https://schemastore.azurewebsites.net/schemas/json/package.json': Unable to connect to https://schemastore.azurewebsites.net/schemas/json/package.json. Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 168.62.224.13:443

Answer 1

I'm behind my company's proxy which I don't know the details because it's everything automatic, and this problem have bug me for some time.

I'm not sure whether this is an universal solution but according to this issue, the http.proxySupport setting is defaulting to "override". I turn this setting off and the errors disappeared.

    "http.proxySupport": "off"
