      = GitHub Copilot could not connect to server

      Before this update, the GitHub Device Authentication was not available in the command palette. This resulted in the following GitHub Copilot error: "Copilot could not connect to server. Extension activation failed: "Request failed with status code 401". With this update, the issue is fixed.

      Description of problem:

      With DS 3.10 we can use GitHub Copilot extension. For that we need to follow below steps:

       

      1. Authenticate to GitHub using the new "Device Authentication" command.
2. Install the GitHub Copilot extension by uploading the VSIX file. You must repeat the upload for every new workspace.   

      But, in the Proxy environment, the `GitHub: Device Authentication` command is missing from command palette. And if we go further without that it throws below error.

       

       

      GitHub Copilot could not connect to server. Extension activation failed: "Request failed with status code 401"

       

      Prerequisites (if any, like setup, operators/versions): DS 3.10
