Issue Type: Bug
If you try to open the release notes while offline, then if a release notes url is configured then vscode will open it in a browser, otherwise it will do nothing, not even show an error.
Later, if you go online and try opening the release notes again, the same will happen - vscode will never attempt to open the release notes webview again.
This state is preserved until you reload the window.
Steps to Reproduce:
-
Go offline (you can also open devtools in vscode and go to the network tab and change the "online" at the top to "offline")
-
Try to open the release notes using Show Release Notes from the command palette.
-
Depending on whether you are on an official vscode build or a local build, the release notes page will be opened in your default browser. On a local build nothing happens.
-
Go back online
-
Try to open the release notes again
-
The same thing will happen
-
Reload the window using Reload Window from the command palette
-
Try to open the release notes again
-
The release notes open in a webview inside vscode
