Wordpress install hook uses git:// protocol, is incompatible with proxies

[Dave Cheney]

ok, this is a nasty issue.

Situation: I am deploying an environment behind a corporate firewall. We have no access to the internet, all transit is via proxy.

Using juju 1.17.5 IFF http_proxy and no_proxy variables are defined at the point juju bootstrap is called will correctly populate the environment variables on all machines spawned in the environment.

So far so good.

Deploying the wordpress charm, at some point during the install hook this line is called

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~charmers/charms/precise/wordpress/trunk/view/head:/hooks/install#L40

Cloning https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli.git

Still looking good.

Then the charm does a submodule init/update, and one of the submodules is configured to pull via git://, not https:// and is blocked by the proxy.

Ah, this is a pain in the ass because we don't control that repo. I'll fork it, update the submodules line, open a pull request but switch the charm over to my repo for the time being.
