node-extra-ca-certs-vscode

Make the environment variabe NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS available to VS Code extensions.

Feature

This extension will enable the environment variable NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS for all VS Code extensions. So that all extensions can use the certificates defined in this environment variable.

It replaces tls.createSecureContext function with a custom function that load all certs from a file defined in the environment variable to the tls context.

See: https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#node_extra_ca_certsfile

There is no platform dependency for this extension. It will work on all platforms. The idea is that you might have done the setup already in case you are a NodeJS developer.
