Running local functions fails without internet connection

[milesfrain]

I cannot run local Azure functions while offline.

Initial setup with internet connection

func init myapp --worker-runtime node --language javascript
cd myapp
npm install
func new --name HttpExample --template "HTTP trigger"
func host start

The above commands work fine. But then if I go offline and re-run func host start, I encounter this error:

@soninaren Do you think we can skip this check if there's no internet connection?

[soninaren]

Yes, we should skip bundle load check when there is no internet.

[frarteaga]

Yes, we should skip bundle load check when there is no internet.

When this change is available?
