Description

This is not an issue per say, I just have ran npm audit over vscode plugin to see what’s there and it seems that continue is using a legacy request library which is marked as vulnerable.
Package itself was not updated since several years and could potentially be substituted with node-fetch or similar.

To reproduce

(see package.json)
