Francesco: it is unlikely to be possible to configure Puppet to issue HTTP requests through a proxy only during the application of one non-Exec resource. System commands issued by Puppet (such as 'rpm') will typically run each in a separate and very sparse environment, so one cannot set up the environment of another. You could conceivably set up and run a special-purpose http service on the local host that proxies requests via your main organizational proxy server; the important point here would be that you would rewrite the URL in your Package resource to refer to that service; maybe something like this: source => 'http://localhost/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm<http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm> ' (where that special-purpose service knows that the ultimate server to which requests need to be directed is dl.fedoraproject.org, via your proxy). But that's an awful lot of work for a such a specialized need. You should consider simply installing epel-release as part of initial system provisioning. If that won't work for you, then you can instead either 1. Use a Yumrepo resource to set up the repository. Relative to the package, this has the shortcoming that it will not install the repo's public key, but you can do that separately via a File resource. 2. Serve the RPM from an internal source instead. If you are running Puppet via apache/passenger, then that source could be the same apache instance that hosts Puppet. It could also be a network filesystem accessible to your nodes, or even a local file (that you can ensure present via a File resource).
