@ibigbug Sorry for the very late review.
Have you tested the case where http_proxy is not set in settings , but is set in the environment variable?
In that case will the value set in the environment variable make its way to the child process running the go get command?

@ramya-rao-a Yeah. I'm sure http_proxy in environment variables and open VS code from this environment using $ code can make go get work through proxy, though it's limited use case. User may often not open VS code through terminal and for OS X users (like me) and other Linux users, environment variables for terminal and GUI are always isolated, this is the main consideration for this PR.

@ibigbug I understand the use case you are trying to solve. My question was for the use case where a user might have set the env var for http_proxy, but not in settings. What happens then, with your code changes?
I tested your code in 2 scenarios in Windows, this is what I see for the env that gets passed to the child process running the go get
-
When
http_proxyis set in env var but not in VS Code settings
-
When different values are set for
http_proxyin env var and VS Code settings
You will have to do 2 changes I believe
- Use upper case while setting the http_proxy variable
- If there is no VS Code setting for http_proxy, then do not change the process.env
1. set both lower and upper case proxy environment variable 2. do not touch process.env when http.proxy setting is not present

| if (httpProxy) { | ||
| env = Object.assign({}, process.env, { | ||
| http_proxy: httpProxy, |

@ramya-rao-a Thanks for pointing out the problems which I did't test carefully.
- I believe golang follows both lower and upper case proxy env vars: https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/net/http/transport.go#L246 , do you think that it's OK to set both lower and upper case env vars here?
- I've added an detection if http.proxy was present.

any benefits of setting both upper and lower case?
Setting just the upper case should do so that if any that was set outside vs code get overridden.

Yes I believe there are.
In case go get are calling some external tools such as wget to download third party resources or other tools like wget which read lowercase setting from environment variables: https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html#Proxies
So I think setting both can be safer.

Sounds good. Only thing pending is the failing tests in travis. Can you debug and see if it fails in your local set up as well?

I found the failed test case is Test diffUtils.getEdits however I have no idea how does this commit make a difference on that. I'll have a local debug to see what happened.

@ramya-rao-a It's interesting that running 'npm t` on current master branch also gets 6 failed tests. I wonder if there are any dependencies have had a breaking change?

I have fixed the tests in master. Re-running the travis tests for this PR keeps using the version of master before my fix.
So will go ahead and merge this without waiting for tests to turn green for this PR.
I was out on winter holidays, so couldn't help wrap this up sooner.
Thanks for your PR and I look forward to more in the future
