Cookbook uploading does not honor proxy settings

Description

When using knife behind a proxy (or anywhere that you use a proxy and the Chef::CookbookUploader class) we fail to configure the proxy settings for RestClient. This causes the first stage of the cookbook upload command to complete (it uses the normal Chef::REST route) but the first files to S3 to fail due to the bad proxy.

Fix is to set the RestClient.proxy before making the RestClient::Resource object in Chef::CookbookUploader.

You can work around this by adding the following to your config file:

require 'rest-client'
RestClient.proxy = "yourproxy"

Comment [ As I mentioned in the dup ticket, the workaround isn't working for me. I know I have the proxy setting correct, since the same proxy value works for git clone and gem install. I'm running knife 0.10.0 and ruby 1.9.2p180, under MINGW32 on Windows XP SP3.

You also need to add the following to your config file for the workaround:

http_proxy "yourproxy"
https_proxy "yourproxy"

I mistakenly thought the RestClient reference would cause things to honor the http_proxy setting in my shell environment. I was wrong.
