Hello there.
I'm trying to install some plugins for my Rails application but my network is behind a proxy server. The gem installer have the -p parameter to configure a proxy and it works ok, but what about script/ plugin install?
Thanks.
You can set http_proxy to make it sense.
hi EricSun, can you please tell me in a more detailedly, I installed Instant Rails on a Windows machine. now i want to install a plugin but failing since i am not able to set the proxy server settings.
Awaited for your help. thanks in advance

in linux systems you have to set a envionment variable like this, export http_proxy="http://myproxyserver:8080" # http can be what ever protocol your proxy server supports and myproxyserver can be a name or IP.
in windows i am not sure but i guess you try this,
right-click on MyComputer, then go to properties, click Advanced tab , click on the button Environment Variables in the 3rd Row, add a new variable called http_proxy if does not exist, then set the value as stated above.
If this is not working, you have to find out the variable equivalent to http_proxy of linux to windows, then set it.
i guess thats what Eric was talking about.
and one more thing is none of the above works out, you can use this one ruby scripts/plugin install --http-proxy="http://myproxyserver:8080/" plugin-url for every plugin you install you have to give --http-proxy option, but if you use a environment variable you don't have to give this. If given this takes priority over environment variable.
Good Luck,
