Copilot plugin does not work from JetBrains IDEs (like PyCharm)

[ptelang]

Copilot plugin does not work from PyCharm IDE. It attempts to log into github and fails.

Here is how the proxy is setup.

Here is the error message in the plugin.

Codegate logs show CopilotProvider getting initialized many times, which is not the case when using copilot+VSCode.

Can you try with HTTPS?

Can you try with HTTPS?

The UI is bit misleading -- I setup the proxy using https.

On further investigation, Jetbrains doesn't support https proxy. @jhrozek got it to work with http proxy.

I think we have 2 ways to approach this - we don't want to expose a third port in addition to the HTTP proxy with just the different chat endpoints that we use for Continue now and the HTTPS proxy that we use for copilot now.

We could add an option to the container to start the copilot provider proxy with http without the s. That would work but still be a bit of a hack.

I think it would be better to just expose one port, which would mean integrate with FastAPI but I'm not sure how easy would it be to just take over the connections.
