[JENKINS-58248] CLI command install-plugin does not take Proxy configuration into account

[timja]

When trying to install a plugin with the Jenkins CLI and providing a URL as argument, the proxy configuration of the Jenkins master does not seem to be taken into account.

For example if I use the following command:

java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -logger FINE -s https://my.jenkinsexample.com -noCertificateCheck -auth myUser:myPassword install-plugin https://jenkins-updates.cloudbees.com/download/plugins/cloudbees-aws-cli/1.5.9/cloudbees-aws-cli.hpi

But requires to be behind an HTTP proxy to be able to download that plugin, it fails with:

ERROR: Unexpected exception occurred while performing install-plugin command. 
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out 

Even if I have a proxy configured under *Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Advanced*.

Evidence

• https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/blob/jenkins-2.176.1/core/src/main/java/hudson/cli/InstallPluginCommand.java#L100-L122
• https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/blob/jenkins-2.176.1/core/src/main/java/hudson/FilePath.java#L965-L976

Workaround

Only workaround seem to be to set the proxy via system properties on the master:

-Dhttps.proxyHost=myproxy.server.com
-Dhttps.proxyPort=8080
-Dhttps.proxyUser=myUser
-Dhttp.proxyPassword=myPassword

Hello,

I also have this problem with the Jenkins Docker image 
https://hub.docker.com/r/jenkins/jenkins 
and the jenkins-plugin-cli. There it is not possiblity to add the parameter 
-Dhttps.proxyHost=myproxy.server.com -Dhttps.proxyPort=8080
and so on to the command line call of jenkins-plugin-cli but you can use the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environment variable like
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-Dhttps.proxyHost=myproxy.server.com -Dhttps.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|127.*|[::1]"

[The readme of the Jenkins image (without that information) can be found at
