Personally I'd rather have first class support -  proxy configuration
is a pain which those of us who have it inflicted on us spend hours
tracking down all the places you need to configure it, having one less
place to ensure it gets injected because it arrives our of the box
would be benefit to me. If nothing else the lack of consistency
between http and https seems wrong.

I've most of a patch but I'm just struggling to ensure it's adequately
tested - your ChefSpec blog post was a big help though!
