==================

Fiddling around with Proxy settings and Vagrant.

Setting Proxy on the Host

=========================

This is required if your host (i.e. the machnine hosting your Vagrant VMs) is behind a Tools.

Tools like [git](http://git-scm.org/), [vagrant-berkshelf](https://github.com/riotgames/vagrant-berkshelf) or [bindler](https://github.com/fgrehm/bindler) require the proxy to be configured correctly when you run `vagrant up`.

This is as simple as setting both the `HTTP_PROXY` and `HTTPS_PROXY` env vars on the host:

```

$ export HTTP_PROXY=http://my.proxy.org:8080

$ export HTTPS_PROXY=http://my.proxy.org:8080

```

Setting Proxy on the Vagrant VM

===============================

Another story is configuring a proxy on the Vagrant VM. 

For example, your laptop (i.e. host) is running inside your corporate network which requires you to configure a proxy, but the Vagrant VM might be running in the AWS Cloud via the [vagrant-aws](https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant-aws) provider and thus not require a proxy. On the other hand it might be running locally using the default virtualbox provider and then you need the same proxy settings.  

To configure the Vagrant VM for using a proxy set the `VAGRANT_HTTP_PROXY` env var on the host:

```

$ export VAGRANT_HTTP_PROXY=http://my.proxy.org:8080

```

The `Vagrantfile` in this test project will pick up this env var and - depending on whether it is set or not - set/unset the proxy *inside* the Vagrant VM via a shell provisioner.

Considerations

==============

* [vagrant-omnibus](https://github.com/schisamo/vagrant-omnibus) does not support proxy configuration [yet](https://github.com/schisamo/vagrant-omnibus/pull/25)

* even if we set the proxy variables via a separate shell provisionier the vagrant-omnibus plugin does not work because it kicks in before *any* of the provisioniers run

* this will probably get much easier with [vagrant-proxyconf](https://github.com/tmatilai/vagrant-proxyconf/), once [#6](https://github.com/tmatilai/vagrant-proxyconf/pull/6) and [#13](https://github.com/tmatilai/vagrant-proxyconf/issues/13) are resolved
