Propagate settings to chef?

[schlamar]

Is it possible to propagate proxy settings to chef_solo and chef_client provisioners? See http://serverfault.com/a/536596/126460 on how you would set them manually.

Hi Marc,

sure it should be possible. I was in the impression that Chef would honor the environment variables, but to be honest I haven't verified. And looks like I was wrong...

I'll take a look later today. Thanks for the feedback!

Sadly not: https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-1117?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:changehistory-tabpanel

I'll take a look later today. Thanks for the feedback!

Great!

I stand corrected. =)
Agreed, we should set also the Chef proxy settings when config.http is used. Thanks again for the idea and investigation!
