run puppet client behind a Internetproxy with authentification

[Rico Steinitz]

I have some PCs in other Networks. The Puppet Client reach the Puppet-Master only over a internetproxy (proxy server squid) with authentification.
The masterport is 443 (HTTPS)
(Puppet client v3.7.5 (OS: Windows 7/2008/2012); Puppet Master 3.7.5 (Debian), Foreman 1.7.5)

i have no problems to communicate over a Proxy without Authentification.
I set the two variables in the puppet.conf on the client:
http_proxy_host=PROXY-IP-ADRESSE
http_proxy_port=8080

But i don't find something about the authentification variables.
I have a workaround. I edit the file:
C:\Program Files\Puppet Labs\Puppet\puppet\lib\puppet\network\http\factory.rb

I added the authentification variables in the function: def create_connection(site)
Original without authentification: (line: 29)
args << Puppet[:http_proxy_host] << Puppet[:http_proxy_port]
NEW with authentification: (line: 29)
args << Puppet[:http_proxy_host] << Puppet[:http_proxy_port] << Puppet[:http_proxy_user] << Puppet[:http_proxy_password]


Is there any other way than to edit the file factory.rb?

This is filed as https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-4470. It should be pretty easy to modify the factory to do something along the lines of:

  def create_connection(site)

    Puppet.debug("Creating new connection for #{site}")

    http = Puppet::Util::Proxy.proxy(site)

    http.use_ssl = site.use_ssl?

    http.read_timeout = Puppet[:http_read_timeout]

    http.open_timeout = Puppet[:http_connect_timeout]
