No way to set a proxy for initial setup (e.g. fetching of GPG key)

[leitmedium]

Initial setup via puppet fails when you need to rely on outgoing proxy for any http traffic. The GPG key is being fetched by remote_file call which does not pass proxy settings.

Quick work around: use another / manual way to put the GPG key to /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/DATADOG_RPM_KEY.public

Intended solution: You should be able to pass proxy settings for any http call.

Thank you for your feedback and the breakdown of the issue @leitmedium

We'll take a look at this as soon as we have the bandwidth, and can hopefully address it for the next release. Very much appreciated! 🙇

I am sorry this didn't make it into the initial 2.0 module. Luckily remote_file supports proxy settings and we will enable this starting with 2.2.0

We eventually moved away from remote_file to apt for the entire key management for the apt repository. apt does allow passing options, including an http proxy. apt might already enforce proxy settings defined for a particular box, btw. But we'll look at the possibility of making it explicit.
