webviews of extensions (markdown preview, thunder client, etc) not being served from localhost?

[riexn]

so this problem is happening because I am using openvscode in an offline environment.

I have two instances of openvscode-server, versions:

• 1.62.3
• 1.66.0

In version 1.62.3, I was able get the webviews of the extensions (markdown, thunder client, jupyter), where the pages were served from localhost:

in version 1.66.0, the webview request seems to be coming from an online service? so when I go offline, I can't view any of the webviews like so:

inspecting the network, it seems to make a request to an online service, but I am not sure why it was changed to that one rather than using localhost.

is it a misconfiguration from my side?

Hi @riexn, that change was intended to reduce the number of custom changes done by ourselves and align to upstream behavior, in the last release 1.66 they added additional checks so it's no longer possible to serve from localhost directly

ahh, that's annoying.

May I ask why the vscode can load them when in offline mode ( no internet connection)?
