Hi,
Does anyone know how to use gem with a proxy? In
firefox my proxy setting is set similar to this:
http://proxy.abc.com/proxy.pac
However, when I try:
gem update -p http://proxy.abc.com/proxy.pac
I get:
Upgrading installed gems...
Updating Gem source index for:
http://gems.rubyforge.org
ERROR: While executing gem ... (OpenURI::HTTPError)
404 Not Found
If I try to use the port instead:
gem update -p http://proxy.abc.com:3128
It gets further before it stops:
Upgrading installed gems...
Updating Gem source index for:
http://gems.rubyforge.org
Attempting remote upgrade of actionmailer
Attempting remote installation of ''actionmailer''
Install required dependency actionpack? [Yn]
Updating Gem source index for:
http://gems.rubyforge.org
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::ETIMEDOUT)

pond after a period of time, or established connection

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Abdullah

This .pac file is a proxy autoconfiguration script--not the proxy server itself. After you''ve got that, the easiest thing to do is to set your HTTP_PROXY environment variable to the correct setting (e.g. export HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.abc.com:8808) -- Chad Fowler http://chadfowler.com http://rubycentral.org http://rubygarden.org http://rubygems.rubyforge.org (over 20,000 gems served!)
Also, if your proxy server is using NTLM authentication, you''ll want to download apserver http://apserver.sourceforge.net/ On Tue, 23 Nov 2004 14:46:21 -0500, Chad Fowler <chadfowler-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> On Mon, 22 Nov 2004 12:16:49 -0800 (PST), Abdullah Jibaly > <amjibaly-/E1597aS9LQAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Does anyone know how to use gem with a proxy?

Thanks, it worked! I''m wondering why it didn''t when I used the -p flag though, since I used the actual address with that too. --- Chad Fowler <chadfowler-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> On Mon, 22 Nov 2004 12:16:49 -0800 (PST), Abdullah > Jibaly > <amjibaly-/E1597aS9LQAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Does anyone know how to use gem with a proxy?
