vagrant does not honor proxy settings for vagrant cloud boxes

[davidkarlsen]

When using vagrantcloud boxes like:
vm.box = "user/boxname"

vagrant does not use the http_proxy settings (but it does when installing plugins!).

Thus vagrantcloud boxes are not usable from enterprisey networks that require you to configure a proxy server for http(s) traffic.

Please disregard this issue, I had messed up my environment (was only available when installing plugins). Sorry for the noise.

Sounds great news, I encounter that the vagrant doesn't work behind the proxy server. Btw, if the feature will include the proxy support, does it work for ISA server via NTLM mode?

I am using the ntmlmaps components for Cygwin and other apps on windows platform.

I don't know if this issue should be re-opened or a new one should be created : downloading a box on vagrantcloud through a proxy works but not login.
Download is subprocessed to cURL, so the http_proxy environnent variable is used as expected. However, login is managed by rest-client but the login client does not deal with such environnent variable.
My workaround is to modify the login client constructor :

module VagrantPlugins
  module LoginCommand
    class Client
      # Initializes a login client with the given Vagrant::Environment.
      #
      # @param [Vagrant::Environment] env
      def initialize(env)
        @logger = Log4r::Logger.new("vagrant::login::client")
        @env    = env
        RestClient.proxy = ENV['http_proxy']
      end
....
    end
  end
end

Do you think that Vagrant has to deal with environnent proxy settings or leave this to the vagrant-proxyconf plugin (tmatilai/vagrant-proxyconf#53) ?
