Tests fails behind http_proxy

[Filirom1]

Hi,

Tests are failing when we are behind an http_proxy because wreck is used.
https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/tasks/build/downloadNodeBuilds.js#L24

Wreck do not handle http_proxy.
hapijs/wreck#64

Request works better with http_proxy.

Not likely to fix this soon, if someone wants to submit a pull to convert wreck to request, we'd consider it. Probably better off implementing http_proxy support in wreck though

Hi @rashidkpc, any news on supporting proxies on Kibana 5.0?

[rashidkpc]

We have no immediate plans to fix this, though we'd consider a pull to replace wreck.

I just submitted the PR #7967 to replace Wreck with Request module and add proxy support.
