Today I tried to install rvm in a VMware image (Turnkey Linux, an Ubuntu installation). I tried to use the usual installation

bash -s -- --trace < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer )

but did not get any feedback. Then I tried to download the `rvm-installer` manually, and call it then with `bash`.

The command is:

bash rvm-installer.txt

where rvm-installer.txt contains the sourcecode of https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer

I then get as feedback:

Downloading RVM from wayneeseguin branch master
curl: (7) couldn't connect to host
Could not download 'https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/tarball/master'.
curl returned status '7'.

I have to use inside the VMware image a proxy, because I use the image in our company intranet. The proxy is set globally in `/etc/environment` and is visible in all shells: `echo $http_proxy` returns the proxy I can use.

I am able for example to use `wget http://web.de`, but I am not able to use `wget https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/tarball/master`. What do I have to do to fix that, so that the installation works? Currently, I cannot use wget or curl with a https URL, only with http.
