connect timeout when using proxy

[Enrice]

Hello. I actually was able to use a proxy through setting it in the environment, but our proxy seems to be too slow on providing a connection because it scans the download beforehand.

I get:
Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, Connection timed out - connect(2) for "download.oracle.com" port 80 at /data/config/puppet/common/modules/oracle_java/manifests/download.pp:33:17 at [..] /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/2.1.0/net/http.rb:879:in 'initialize' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/2.1.0/net/http.rb:879:in 'open' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/2.1.0/net/http.rb:879:in 'block in connect' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/2.1.0/timeout.rb:90:in 'block in timeout' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/2.1.0/timeout.rb:100:in 'call' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/2.1.0/timeout.rb:100:in 'timeout' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/2.1.0/net/http.rb:878:in 'connect' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/2.1.0/net/http.rb:863:in 'do_start' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/2.1.0/net/http.rb:852:in 'start' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/2.1.0/net/http.rb:583:in 'start' /data/config/puppet/common/modules/oracle_java/lib/puppet_x/aco/util.rb:22:in 'request' /data/config/puppet/common/modules/oracle_java/lib/puppet/parser/functions/oracle_sso.rb:23:in 'block in <module:Functions>'

I had to change the module, because the official puppetlabs module could no longer download an older jdk because they don't provide a means of logging in into oracle. However it uses stdlib archive which does not have this timeout problem.
