Terraform

v1.6.1

Terraform Provider

2.8.2

VMware vSphere

7.0.3.01900

Description

Hello, I access to the vsphere server using a corporate proxy. When i run terraform, i get a timeout error:

│ Error: error setting up new vSphere SOAP client: Post "https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/sdk": dial tcp 10.195.7.5:443: connect: connection timed out

The vsphere provider seems to not use the HTTPS_PROXY env var. For exemple, Govmomi have fix this issue in the following commit.

Best regards, Sébastien
