i just installed phonegap 3.0 and tried to create a new app via the CLI: "phonegap create my-app"
But I get the following error:

[phonegap] downloading https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-app-hello-world/archive/3.0.0.tar.gz...

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.
