Hi,

We are behind a proxy server which is causing issues when Chef tries to download remote files.

In the /etc/chef/client.rb file we have defined the following:

Chef::Config.http_proxy “http://PROXY_IP:80” Chef::Config.http_proxy_user “USERNAME” Chef::Config.http_proxy_pass “PASSWORD”

However, Chef doesnt seem to use the Proxy details above.

Running:

chef-client -c /etc/chef/client.rb

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
