body: <p>How to specify a user id and password for Visual Studio Code with an authenticating proxy?</p>
  
  <p>I've seen the <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/supporting/faq#_proxy-server-support" rel="noreferrer">Proxy Server Support</a> on the main VS Code site, but this only mentions two settings ...</p>
  
  <pre><code>"http.proxy": "http://10.203.0.1:5187/"
  "http.proxyStrictSSL": false
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've set these, but still no luck, e.g. I can't install extensions ... can't even get a list of them </p>
  
  <p>I suspect it's our proxy, as it needs a user id and password  :-( </p>
  
  <p>So how can you set these values?</p>
