Additional Context
Please add any additional context about the error here
Continue in Cursor on Windows fails to connect to local Ollama over SSH tunnel (EADDRNOTAVAIL 127.0.0.1:11435)

Body
I’m using Continue inside Cursor on Windows with a local Ollama endpoint exposed through an SSH tunnel.

Continue fails with:

request to http://127.0.0.1:11435/api/chat failed, reason: connect EADDRNOTAVAIL 127.0.0.1:11435
What works
Ollama works on the remote Linux host
The SSH tunnel is active
http://127.0.0.1:11435/api/tags works from PowerShell
The same endpoint also works from Node on the same Windows machine
Continue config

models:

• name: Tunnel Ollama
  provider: ollama
  model: qwen2.5-coder:32b
  apiBase: http://127.0.0.1:11435
  requestOptions:
  noProxy:
  - localhost
  - 127.0.0.1
  timeout: 30000
  Expected
  Continue should connect to the local Ollama API through the SSH tunnel and return a response.

Actual
Continue in Cursor throws EADDRNOTAVAIL, even though the same localhost endpoint is reachable outside the extension.

Question
Is this a known issue with:

Continue inside Cursor vs VS Code
Windows localhost handling
proxy handling for local Ollama endpoints
