Group Policy: ExtensionInstallForcelist doesn't work with ProxyMode "fixed_servers"

Reported by spamkill...@arcor.de, Sep 27 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/53.0.2785.113 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Set ExtensionInstallForcelist with value (e.g. bhmmomiinigofkjcapegjjndpbikblnp;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx)
2. Set ProxyMode "fixed_servers"
3. Set up a new profile in windows and open chrome.
4. The extension won't install.

What is the expected behavior?
Installation of the extension when chrome starts for the first time.

What went wrong?
With ProxyMode "system" and ExtensionInstallForcelist the extension will install, but with ProxyMode "fixed_servers" won't do it.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 53.0.2785.113  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0

It's not clear whether the issue is in the extensions component or somewhere in the enterprise policy code.

Georges, assigning to you for the further investigation.
It looks like Chrome uses the system proxy settings even if you have set ProxyMode "fixed_servers". So when the system proxy isn't set the extension won't install.
Chrome needs system proxy and fixed proxy. Is that intended? So it is pointless to use this policy.
Problem solved.
If the policy "EnableOnlineRevocationChecks" (Whether online OCSP/CRL checks are performed) is not set, or is set to false, then the extensions will install.

Issue can be closed. Thanks.
