Reproduce the issue in code-server v4.96.4 using Edge on macOS with Ubuntu remote OS by dragging a .vsix file into the browser. Compare the loading behavior with other file types and with GitHub Codespaces, then trace the browser upload path. Done means .vsix files upload successfully without hanging over both HTTP and HTTPS.
