[chef] recipe_url with windows

["Moser, Kevin" < >]

Anyone get this working?  I have tried various things, but keep running in to 
an issue where the tar command to extract the cookbooks fails with:

c:/opscode/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/chef-11.12.4-x86-mingw32/lib/chef/mixin/command.rb:141:in

Digging through the code there is nothing that jumps out at me.  The 
interesting thing is that if I do a pry break in the method which causes a 
delay in processing, then it works.  So seems like there is a weird race 
condition in here.

Just curious if others have tried to get this working and have a solution?

Thanks!!
