Proxy support

[simondean]

Hi. Is there any way to use the plugin behind a proxy server? Running the plugin behind a proxy server results in lots of connect() timed out! errors when it tries to install perl on the VM.

My vagrant-proxyconf plugin helps to configure proxy settings on the VM. But by reading the code it looks like this plugin will end up running in an earlier phase.

vagrant-proxyconf could check if vagrant-vbguest is installed and hook to VagrantVbguest::Middleware too. But some more idempotency logic is needed as that Action is VirtualBox provider specific and only triggered when booting the VM. Still it should be totally possible.

vagrant-proxyconf 0.6.0.rc1 has been released for testing. It can be installed with:

vagrant plugin install --plugin-source https://rubygems.org --plugin-prerelease vagrant-proxyconf

If no bugs are found, the stable release will take place in a couple of days. All feedback appreciated.

Fyi, vagrant-proxyconf 0.6.0 has been released. It can now configure the VM before the vbguest plugin.

I'll close this as vagrant-proxyconf works now fine together with vagrant-vbguest. Please reopen if you think there is something more that could be done.

vagrant-vbguest doesn't use the proxy of vagrant-proxyconf

Any idea how to make it use my proxy? Thanks.
