I am looking for help where I need to download binaries from chef-cookbook from https url and I can not make a direct call to the url from client server.
I am able to download it using curl but after passing proxy server with port. But I want to use remote_file resource and I am not able to set the proxy for my https url as there is no option with in remote file.
can someone please help me with.
Thanks in advance
you will need to set the proxy setting in chef-client configuration
http_proxy
The proxy server for HTTP connections. Default value:nil
.
http_proxy_pass
The password for the proxy server when the proxy server is using an HTTP connection. Default value:nil
.
http_proxy_user
The user name for the proxy server when the proxy server is using an HTTP connection. Default value:nil
.
you might like to leverage chef-client cookbook to set these settings
