Issue Description

I am experiencing a problem with creating a New-WebServiceProxy object.

Steps to reproduce:

PS C:\> $zip = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri "http://www.webservicex.net/uszip.asmx?WSDL"

This will throw an error, stating that it cannot download the wsdl.

New-WebServiceProxy : The remote name could not be resolved: 'www.webservicex.net'
At line:1 char:1
+ New-WebServiceProxy -Uri http://www.webservicex.net/uszip.asmx?WSDL
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (http://www.webs...uszip.asmx?WSDL:Uri) [New-WebServiceProxy], WebException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewWebServiceProxy

PS C:\Users\lifebound\scripts> $Error[1].Exception
There was an error downloading 'http://www.webservicex.net/uszip.asmx?WSDL'.
PS C:\Users\lifebound\scripts> $Error[1].Exception.InnerException
The remote name could not be resolved: 'www.webservicex.net'

this error can be replicated by multiple users, both on public and private networks, when using VSC with the powershell plugin. It cannot be replicated in PowerGUI, Powershell ISE, or the PoSH CLI.

@lifebound, it seems that Webservicex no longer presents the uszip service, hence you're getting the error. Doesn't seem to be related to PowerShell extension
