Hi ~ I written a RoR application that need to feed the web content using web service or make a get or post request to another server. However the RoR application server is located behind the proxy, so that if my web broswer need to get a homepage, it need to set the proxy host and port in the browser before to use. But for my RoR application, how can it know that their have a proxy server, so that the application can correctly get the web content? I did research on some forums, and i always said that use the following code that also appear in the ruby documentation require ''net/http'' proxy_addr = ''your.proxy.host'' proxy_port = 8080 : Net::HTTP::Proxy(proxy_addr, proxy_port).start(''www.example.com'') {|http| # always connect to your.proxy.addr:8080 : } Is there have another general way (i mean the proxy setting can apply to whole RoR application without changing the code) to set the proxy setting for RoR application? Can it be set in the environment file?
