/**
* monkeyPatch patches the node http and https modules to route all requests through the
* agent we get from the proxy-agent package.
*
* We do not support $HTTPS_PROXY here as it's equivalent in proxy-agent.
* See the mapping at https://www.npmjs.com/package/proxy-agent
*
* I guess with most proxies support both HTTP and HTTPS proxying on the same port and
* so two variables aren't required anymore. And there's plenty of SOCKS proxies too where
* it wouldn't make sense to have two variables.
*
* It's the most performant/secure setup as using a HTTP proxy for HTTP requests allows
* for caching but then using a HTTPS proxy for HTTPS requests gives full end to end
* security.
*
* See https://stackoverflow.com/a/10442767/4283659 for HTTP vs HTTPS proxy.
* To be clear, both support HTTP/HTTPS resources, the difference is in how they fetch
* them.

// esModuleInterop enabled but the code-server one does. As a result depending on where
// we execute, we either have a default attribute or we don't.

// I can't enable esModuleInterop in VS Code's build process as it breaks and spits out
// a huge number of errors.

//
// Even if they do, it's probably the same proxy so we should be fine! And those are
// deprecated anyway. In fact, they implemented it incorrectly as they won't retrieve
// HTTPS resources over a HTTP proxy which is perfectly valid! Both HTTP and HTTPS proxies
// support HTTP/HTTPS resources.
