  This only happens if we request https website pages. Do you know why this happens and how to fix it? 

I have added a simple function app with a http trigger. To start project/environment:

• unzip project
• open in vs code
• add proxy_key in file init.py
• send http request to local host example in sampleHttpRequest.http
• use vs code "rest client" extension so you can send http request directly from vs code
