The same problem with Install-Module, I think you should make all function can work with the default proxy by default automatically(when the default proxy was enabled).

Hi @SydneyhSmith,
Do you have any plan about this feature? use the default proxy automatically.

[edyoung]

I'm afraid we have no plan to implement. That doesn't mean it won't happen or we think it's a bad idea, just that everyone is working on other things at the moment (most bugs fall in to this category). Happy to consider PRs, or if this gets lots of upvotes or passionate comments it will move up the list.

Hi @edyoung ,
I encounter the same problem again when I am using Publish-Script function, you can check more details in https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShellGet/issues/458 .
There is no Proxy parameter for Publish-Script, I did not have a chance to specify the proxy.

[chucklu]

I got the error info as following after waiting 5 minutes for Publish-Script

Publish-PSArtifactUtility : Failed to publish script 'chuck': 'info : Pushing chuck.1.0.0.nupkg to 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/package/'...

@chucklu what happens if you update your nuget.config file with your proxy details?

[chucklu]

@Benny1007 As I mentioned here, the NuGet works fine with my default proxy. There is no need to add proxy to nuget.config.

Hi @SteveL-MSFT ,
Would this issue be solved by PowerShell/PowerShell#9495 ?

[SydneyhSmith]

@chucklu looking through this issue and wondering if you have had a chance to see if you are still hitting this issue on the latest versions of PowerShell(7 - preview 3) and PowerShellGet (2.2.1)?Thanks!

[chucklu]

I will try with Powershell7-preview3 later.
