I'm having the same problem on RHEL 6.6 I opened a support case with puppet, and they had me check the usual suspects like the /tmp noexec. I confirmed that pe-puppetserver is up and listening on 8140, and I also confirmed that I could successfully curl to the FQDN after stripping out the http_proxy variables.
My suspicion is that the installer is either not appropriately handling those proxy variables when they are unpopulated. Technically we don't need those variables at all, at least in my environment. Could be that a hack to the install script will do the trick, but I'm hesitant to do that without a sign off from the support folks.
