[chef] Knife bootstrap curl: option --proxy=on: is unknown

[Phil Cryer < >]

Running knife bootstrap on a new node that needs an HTTP_PROXY set to
get out to the internet, with the --bootstrap-proxy option set, knife
complains that curl doesn't know the option --proxy=on. This is Centos
6.4, with curl 7.19.7

knife bootstrap 111.222.333.444 --ssh-user root --ssh-port 22
--ssh-password 'sekrit' \
--template-file .chef/bootstrap/chef-full.erb --run-list=role[base]        \
--node-name newnode01 --environment qa --bootstrap-proxy 111.222.333.1:8080

[...]
111.222.333.444 curl: option --proxy=on: is unknown
111.222.333.444 curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more 
information
10.187.254.188 bash: line 83: chef-client: command not found

Do I not have something set right? Do I need a .curlrc on the new node
with the proxy IP set in there?
