Cannot attach to debugger

Hope this is the right place/project, otherwise my apologies.

When debugging nodejs using attach, vscode connects to the nodejs debugger using the address specified in launch.json

However, it seems to always use “localhost” in the host header for the requests it make.

This prevents me from routing the traffic through a proxy which needs host names in order to route properly

Is there anyway to control the host header in vscode’s requests to the nodejs debugger?

Thanks

A sniffed snippet example from request vscode => nodejs debugger:

GET /json/version HTTP/1.1
user-agent: got (https://github.com/sindresorhus/got)
accept: application/json
host: localhost
accept-encoding: gzip, deflate, br
Connection: close

Another snippet from the ws upgrade request:

GET /6cabf470-7eb5-4202-b11f-4355c178c8a3 HTTP/1.1
Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13
Sec-WebSocket-Key: qDfnpxTOzSjxQfbiJcsTWQ==
Connection: Upgrade
Upgrade: websocket
host: localhost

Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll see what I can do and create a PR for it.

However, it seems to always use “localhost” in the host header for the requests it make.

This is required; if the host isn’t set to localhost then the debug target (node or chrome) will refuse to respond with debug information.

If the host header is not localhost, you will need to fix it up in your proxy. I would be willing to accept a PR to configure a custom value for the host header.
