Action setup-terraform fails with Error: Client network socket disconnected before secure TLS connection was established when trying to run behind corp proxy

[mvuddaraju]

Problem description and environment:

I am trying to use Action setup-terraform@v1 in one of my deployments. My self-hosted runner is a windows server and runs behind a corporate proxy.
I have set the proxy variables at the system level(https_proxy and http_proxy). However, I get the following error when trying to use the action
Error: Error: Client network socket disconnected before secure TLS connection was established
