Puppet users - Jul 2013 - puppet module search using an HTTP proxy

Can anyone confirm that PE 3.0 supports this? I exported $http_proxy 
correctly, I beleive. 
$ puppet module search something 
Notice: Searching

There was a network communications problem
The error we caught said ''407 "Proxy Authentication Required (

filter is denied. )"''
Check your network connection and try again
Error: Try ''puppet help module search'' for usage

I have the same issue:

[root@learn puppet]# puppet module install puppetlabs/java
Notice: Preparing to install into /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules ...
Notice: Downloading from https://forge.puppetlabs.com ...
Error: Could not connect to https://forge.puppetlabs.com
  There was a network communications problem
    *The error we caught said ''407 "Proxy Authentication
Required"''*
    Check your network connection and try again

After some research I found out, that Puppet supports
"http_proxy_host" and
"http_proxy_port" in puppet.conf. But there doesn''t seem to
be any support
for proxy authentication with username and password.
Does anyone know, if this feature ist planned for one of the upcoming 
releases?

Thanks and best regards!

Ad hoc I find at least three bug reports around this issue:

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8281
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16923
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19547

Patches are included, try at your own risk. Your mileage may vary,
seeing as some of those bugs are old-ish.

Cheers,
Felix

Maybe something as simple as using httpS? The puppet module face requires https
when downloading I believe.

Try ''export https_proxy=my.proxy.com''

I hope this helps.

I tried two of the proposed fixes in github, but neither of them worked.  I 
came up with the following workaround (kludge) that happens to work because 
our proxy caches the authentication for a little while.  Maybe it will help 
someone out there who is brought here by the magic Google machine:

Stuff your proxy password in a variable so it doesn''t get saved in
shell
history:
read pw


*type password and hit enter*Now use wget to get the proxy to authenticate 
you.  Obviously, adjust user, proxy url, and port for your environment:

export http_proxy=http://yourproxy.yourdomain.com:8080
export https_proxy=http://yourproxy.yourdomain.com:8080
wget --proxy-user=linprox --proxy-password=$pw http://google.com
wget --no-check-certificate --proxy-user=yourproxyuser --proxy-password=$pw
https://google.com


Then you can do puppet module search and puppet module install until your 
cached credentials expire.

FWIW
