vs2017 cannot browse online extensions

Viewed 1109

I just installed Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise, and the first thing I do is try and install the extensions I usually prefer.

I open up the Extensions and Updates dialog, which loads all the installed plugins that came with the install.

I click the "Online" tab on the left, and it loads... "No items found". No extensions exist online, huh? I'm sure that's right. </sarcasm>

So I try searching. Then I am presented with an error in the Extensions and Updates dialog:

A connection to the server could not be established because the following error(s) occurred:

The magic number in the GZip header is not correct. Make sure you are passing in a GZip stream.

Please click here to retry the request.

I am on a corporate network, so a firewall thing could be a problem, except I would expect that VS2015 would have the same problem, then, which it doesn't. I can browse online extensions in 2015 without any problems.

This is a completely fresh install.

I haven't been able to find anything about this online, every time I find something referencing this error it's because someone is coding something wrong, not because VS is being weird.

Any ideas?
