Vscode: Support socks5 proxies

[foisonocean]

• VSCode Version:1.3.1
• OS Version:OS X 10.11.6

// settings.json
{
  "http.proxy": "socks5://127.0.0.1:1080"
}

It doesn't work, and it shows String does not match the pattern of "^https?://[^:]+(:\d+)?$|^$"

socks5 is not supported, do you really need it?

[foisonocean]

@joaomoreno Yes, I need it. Atom support socks5 in OS X, but VS Code don't.

Is there any plan to support socket5 proxy ? Thanks.

One can start a SOCKS proxy with basic ssh. So, yes, it would be very useful in travel etc.
