MAAS maas-import-pxe-files

Question

I'm experiencing this issue on a fresh maas install behind a proxy.

sudo http_proxy=http://myname:mypass@192.45.0.2:3128 maas-import-pxe-files

2015-05-21 13:28:41,236 INFO Importing boot resources.
2015-05-21 13:28:41,255 ERROR Unhandled exception; unable to continue.

    content, payload = reader.read_json(path)

    return raw, self.policy(content=raw, path=path)

    return read_signed(content=content, keyring=keyring)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/simplestreams/util.py", line 299, in read_signed
    raise SignatureMissingException("No signature found!")
SignatureMissingException: No signature found!

I also tried this :

maas useromc maas set-config name=http_proxy value=http://myname:mypass@192.45.0.2:3128
{"http_proxy": ["Enter a valid URL."]}

No way to download those pxe files ... Any advice is welcome !
