install rails plugins when behind a proxy

rubyonrails-talk

Hi,

I'm behind a proxy server and I can't seem to install any rails plugins Whenever I'm trying to install a plugin I get this

      exists       create app/controller File exists - script/plugin

which I guess means that it just didn't find the plugin. I managed to configure gem and install rails using the http_proxy enviroment variable. But for ruby script/install this doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas?

thanks Marc

actually the problem seems to be that the http_proxy variable works only for http connections. However, if the plugins SVN resides on a url like svn:// ..... it won't use the proxy server specified in the http_proxy variable. I have no idea how to get around that.
