I have meet the same question,and try many time,but I still can't resolve this problem untill now. Please someone can help us,please

[jmrog]

I've tried to reproduce this many times, but I never have a problem. Can one of you please confirm whether this is still happening for you? Can you perhaps provide me with more details, such as VSCode version, operating system, and any other information you think might be relevant (e.g., whether you are behind a proxy of some kind)?

[jmrog]

Can you also mention where in the world you are located geographically? I'm starting to suspect that there could be an issue in a particular region.

Thank you for your replay,sir. I am a Chinese Developer.From last week until now,I find many developer have the same thing happend on me.such as :https://tieba.baidu.com/p/6112114402?red_tag=1008495548

I take some screenshot of this problem https://send.firefox.com/download/f4b4890ebb060194/#_Ip9_bbHRa2FcyzFzkeFpg

Thank you for your replay. I am a Chinese Developer.I'm in China now.I try it again after your replay. but the same thing happened.the screenshot of the my environment is: My OS is the lasted version of windows 10 v1809. I can get the same package any another way.so I think it's not the proplem of network.

Thank you both for following up. I still suspect that this is a network problem, for a couple of reasons:

1. So far, all of the reports about this issue have come from users in China,
2. Users in China have had problems accessing NuGet package data in the past, and
3. I can't reproduce the issue at all (I'm not in China).

As a (partial) test, are you able to get to this URL from China: https://api.nuget.org/v3-flatcontainer/IdentityServer4/index.json ?

I see. Notice that it redirected you to azure.cn. Apparently azure.cn does not have the correct information. What you should be seeing is this:

So, there appears to be a problem with the redirect or the server to which it is redirecting for users in China. That kind of problem is out of my control. Do you know whether there is some other URL that is accessible by Chinese users and that returns the version information shown in my screenshot?

[CareyYang]

Thank you for your replay again,But I haven't found the way to return the version information in China yet,if I get it,I tell you.

I found the method just now. the Url replace "https://api.nuget.org/v3-flatcontainer/IdentityServer4/index.json" whth "https://nuget.cdn.azure.cn/v3-flatcontainer/identityserver4/index.json ".All words are lowercase.this URL that is accessible by Chinese users and that returns the version information shown in your screenshot:

Nice find. Thanks. I would say this is a bug in the server that is redirecting you to azure.cn. URL paths are case-sensitive, so a redirect should not change the case of anything in a URL path.

As of this date the case problem still exists. I am using Ubuntu 21.10 and code-insiders versions 1.63. I can enter lowercase microsoft.extensions.hosting it returns list using pascal casing. after selecting option it returns versioning information not available. if i call the url all lower case the version information is returned.
