jenkins_plugin ignores HTTP Proxy configuration

Cookbook version

Chef-client version

Platform Details

Centos 7

Scenario:

jenkins_plugin ignores HTTP Proxy configuration

Steps to Reproduce:

• Setup an HTTP Proxy in jenkins -> PluginManager -> Advanced (or, execute Jenkins.instance.proxy = new ProxyConfiguration('myhost', 8888);
• have chef run jenkins_plugin 'somePlugin'

Expected Result:

Jenkins installs the plugin

Actual Result:

Chef tries to download update-center.json ignoring the Proxy settings, thus failing.

To me, the cookbook should either get the proxy configuration from jenkins (via Jenkins.instance.proxy) and use it, or have Jenkins install plugins its way.

Another possibility would be to add a feature to manage proxy configuration for plugin manager explicitly and both set it on Jenkins and use it for manual retrieval of information in the cookbook.

It looks like jenkins_command might suffer from a similar bug.
