I set it up, now I'm trying to use vagrant box to download a box, but it's still failing. My proxy itself is working in other tools. Is there some simple command I can run (e.g. asking vagrant to fetch text not binary) which can help me to know that Vagrant is correctly picking up the proxy settings? Then I would be able to troubleshoot further as to whether proxyconf itself is working and/or the proxy is blocking a particular request (e.g. retrieving large binaries). Right now I have no idea if proxyconf itself is working as I'm still getting the same error I got before I installed proxyconf.
You can get (a lot!) of more information what Vagrant and its plugins are doing by passing --debug option. Or you can set VAGRANT_LOG variable. More info on the documentation.
