Why does the plugin keep connecting to Apple?
Issue #48
resolved
I have a web debugger running on my machine, and I noticed that VSCode is running a lot of web calls to captive.apple.com/hotspot-detect.html followed by a call to ipv4.icanhazip.com:443 every second. The body of the Apple call is <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Success</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>Success</BODY></HTML>.
I've narrowed it down to the Atlassian plugin. I disabled it, and the traffic stopped, and I enabled it, and the traffic resumed. Why is the plugin making this call every second? This seems like a bug.

@RMollDiagraph The underlying online/offline detection library we use calls those urls in parallel to see if the internet is reachable.
We can definitely change the polling interval and we can look into seeing if we can change the url to something else.

Version 1.4.0 of the extension fixes this issue. Please re-open if you still see any issues. (Note that you need to update to VS Code 1.34 to use this version)
