I'm writing an extension targeted for VSCode Remote environment. In this setup, one extension (UI extension) runs in client and another (workspace extension) runs in remote server.
Now, here's a question - is there any way to generate an URL that can be used by UI extension to access file on the server?
I know I can use vscode-remote://ssh-remote+<hostname>/file/on/server syntax to express this type of remote URL, but the issue here is that I cannot find any way for extension to discover one. Using vscode.Uri.file() API only generates file: URL, which is meaningless for UI extension running in client environment.
Since vscode-remote: scheme is fixed and ssh-remote part can be extracted from vscode.env.remoteName variable, the last piece I need is the hostname that was used to open current VSCode Remote session. Is there any API/variable to discover this?
