Hello, I''ve been learning RoR for a week now and I gotta say the learning courve is awesome with this framework. However, with the introduction of rails 2.0 some things became a little bit fuzzy, and since I am dealing with it on a daily basis I accidentally installed Rails 2.0 unaware of all the problems it would cause me. With some functions such as scaffolding being sent to the vendor/ plugins folder, it appears that each time we want to use some facilitating cool feature under rail, we''re obliged to be connected to the internet, to fetch the correspondent plugin in the repository. Well, correct me if I''m wrong, but I guess this the way RoR handles it and for me it''s a big pain! I''m not connected all the time, having to work on planes or trains, so I can''t get instant access to everything I need in my projects. And, the greatest problem of all: I''m behind a PROXY! As some threads have already came up to, the command script/plugin does not behave very well under a proxy. There''s been trouble with authenticating proxies and when you''re not sure if you are or not behind one (believe, it can be the case for some), the script doesn''t even give you a clue as of what is happening. In my case, my proxy server in the university does not require authentication, but there''s this thing of setting an env. variable http_proxy that some people talk about which is, for me, a complete mistery!!! I don''t know how to set it, if I have a slight clue I have no means to know if it''s been done right and so on... To sum things up, could any charitative soul post a detailed step-by- step guide showing how to get through proxies so as to enable plugin fetching over the internet??? At least until the plugin script get some proxy functionality itself, which would be very useful, or until attepts to download the code and install locally no longer return an error that says things no one understand about ROOT_PATH or something like it. And no, I don''t want to go back to previous versions, since I think it''s useless to ignore these problems as newer version will be arriving anyway.
