This adds support for automatically recovering from SSL handshake errors when certificates expired. When an SSL error occurs, the plugin will now attempt to execute a configured external command to refresh certificates. If successful, the SSL context is reloaded and the failed request is transparently retried. This improves reliability in environments with short-lived or frequently rotating certificates. Netflix requested this, they don't have a reliable mechanism to detect and refresh the certificates before any major disruption in Coder Toolbox.

Neat! Do you know if we have plans to do this for the VS Code extension as well?

Yes.. it should be and I talked with @jcjiang to implement this on VS Code but I'm not sure when it will be. Netflix was apparently keen to have this in Toolbox. |
