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

["Julian C. Dunn" < >]

Is your bootstrap template corrupted in some way? If you look at the
one that comes with Chef, it looks like this:

if ! exists /usr/bin/chef-client; then
  if exists wget; then
    bash <(wget <%= "--proxy=on " if knife_config[:bootstrap_proxy] %>
${install_sh} -O -) ${version_string}
  elif exists curl; then
    bash <(curl -L <%= "--proxy \"#{knife_config[:bootstrap_proxy]}\"
" if knife_config[:bootstrap_proxy] %> ${install_sh})
${version_string}
  else
    echo "Neither wget nor curl found. Please install one and try again." >&2
    exit 1
  fi
fi

So it looks like in your situation, the wget flags are getting passed
to a curl...
