It sounds like you're hitting CHEF-5270, which is actually an issue with the
rest-client gem:
https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-5270

The ticket has some workarounds, including using chef_gem in the recipe to
change to a version of rest-client that doesn't have the bug.

Sorry you are hitting this Carlos -- the longer term fix is to stop shipping
this gem at some point to avoid sensitivity to regressions since it's no
longer a dependency for Chef.

Thanks.

-Adam

Hello to all,

Windows chef-client fails in rackspace no mather if its rackconnected or
un-rackconnected, im starting to feel that this is a bug in windows
chef-client. Is there any way to put a bug request or something related? OR
having a chef-client debugger...

My problem is that i have more than 100 Windows servers in Rackspace cloud
and ill like to use chef to manage them.

At the end this is what i'm having in the chef-client logs.



Cheers.
