ESP-IDF VS Code extension install fails, dl.espressif.com is for some reason not accessible (IDFGH-15288) (VSC-1682)

[wolfofnox]

Answers checklist.

• I have read the documentation ESP-IDF Programming Guide and the issue is not addressed there.
• I have updated my IDF branch (master or release) to the latest version and checked that the issue is present there.
• I have searched the issue tracker for a similar issue and not found a similar issue.

IDF version.

did not install

Operating System used.

Windows

How did you build your project?

VS Code IDE

If you are using Windows, please specify command line type.

None

What is the expected behavior?

Successfull ESP-IDF and tools install

What is the actual behavior?

The extension installs, opens Configure ESP-IDF Extension window and prompts me to install. I used Express, github download server, only version it gave me (a really long string of version tags), default IDF_TOOLS_PATH. Click Install.

This is the output:

If i tried to connect directly to the https://dl.espressif.com/ server, i get blocked on PC, on my phone it works.
Checked hosts file, it is not there.

Steps to reproduce.

http GET on dl.espressif.com (extension or browser)

Hi, sorry for bothering, i managed to fix the problem on my own (with huge help from chatGPT) - it was being blocked by the WD Firewall. So, all tools are downloaded, just one more thing you might want to look into:

The extension offers IDF versions up to v5.5, but versions above v5.3.3 actually dont exist on github, so it can't download them: might be wrong links, or something - throws a 404.

IN #1586 I've added mirrors in Github for these files.

About the v5.5 versions in extension, these are develop branch in https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf which should be cloned instead of using a release download. The issue is being fixed in PR #1584
