vagrant box add base using http proxy

[Russell]

Hi,
In corporate firewall hell all http traffic goes through an http proxy
that requires authentication. I added an HTTP_PROXY env var so that
rubygems would work, what do I need to do to make vagrant box add
http://xxxxxxxxx work, please?

Many thanks in advance

Russell

Russel,

You're link was translated oddly so its hard to tell whats happening, but if the company firewall doesn't let the tool access the site to download the base box (which is what I assume is failing) you can download it manually and use the local file.

Just hit

http://files.vagrantup.com/base.box

in your web browser and save the file to somewhere you'll remember. With that done you can issue:

vagrant box add base path/to/your/base.box

And continue on with the quick start. Hope that helps.

Best

John

Hi,
Thanks for the response. In the end that is what I did (downloaded
with browser and used local box).

Thanks again

Russell

Russell,

While this works, it could be nice to also build in HTTP proxy support straight into Vagrant since Net::HTTP seems to support it. 

I'll keep this in mind for the future.

Nothing works for me behind corp proxy:

# pwd
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/vagrant_home

# echo $VAGRANT_HTTP_PROXY
http://172.19.243.11:8090

# tail Vagrantfile
  #   chef.validation_client_name = "ORGNAME-validator"
  # Setup Proxy
  Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
   if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-proxyconf")
     config.proxy.http     = "http://172.19.243.11:8090/"
     config.proxy.no_proxy = "localhost,127.0.0.1"
   end
  end
  #
end

# vagrant up

Pls advise.

Hi,

The box is loaded on the host, while vagrant-proxyconf currently only configures the guest. I’ve planned adding some host side support too, but untill then you need to specify the standard HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables on the host yourself.
