Removing previous installation...

    The problem was with the proxy. And the missing link, that VS Code Server uses wget.

    Solution was to configure a proxy in /etc/wgetrc:

    use_proxy=yes
http_proxy=12.34.56.78:1234
https_proxy=12.34.56.78:1234

    BTW: just editing ~/.wgetrc was not enough.

    For me it worked to remove "update.code.visualstudio.com" line from ~/.wget-hsts.
