Description

Please add support for http proxy in client code so that clients inside a firewall can contact a chef server outside the firewall.

For example: chef/lib/chef/rest.rb run_request uses Net::HTTP.new. Please add optional --proxy parameter to command line (or, even better, detect http_proxy env variable) and use Net::HTTP.Proxy when appropriate.
