> I have the impression the phonegap command line utility doesn't read properly the proxy configuration of windows, and this is due to some mishandling of the error.
> So, I posted this message, first to report this small bug, and second to ask how can I set proxy configuration for the phonegap utility.
> Or if there is a workaround to this in case proxy cannot be set.
