New CLI download (4.0.1) consistently times out

[mattseddon]

After upgrading to 4.0.1 the extension stopped logging heartbeats and remained in an "initializing" state. After debugging I found that the CLI was failing to download:

I saw from the changelog that you changed the way that this works for this version.

I can confirm that manually downloading the zip and moving it into the extension folder fixed the issue for me.

It must be due to switching from deprecated request library to urllib. Maybe urllib doesn't support proxies the same way as request... are you by chance using a proxy in the wakatime.proxy vscode config or ~/.wakatime.cfg file?

[mattseddon]

I'm not using a proxy.

Oh, the default request timeout was 5 seconds which is wayyy too low. Increased it to 60s in v4.0.2. Does upgrading fix the error for you?

Still seeing the same issue on 4.0.2:

Oops.. I didn't use the options when fetching so the new timeout value wasn't actually used. Should be fixed now in v4.0.3.

[mattseddon]

Seems to be fixed now
