Command Expansion problem

ruby-talk

Hello,

I am using the following command inside ruby

runCmd = %x{curl --proxy 192.168.0.5:3128 -d
userName=aaaa -d password=password -d command=put -o
./temp/putOutput.txt -d fileName=abc --config
./temp/tmpDataConfig.txt
https://192.168.0.8/RF/RemoteFileAccess}

This command fails within ruby but works on the
command line{in Linux}

Within Ruby Curl tries to open a Config file but
silently fails.

Is Ruby supposed to allow OS type commands like Curl
to open their own files?

I looked at ruby libCurl but it doesn’t run on
windows.

Thanking you in advance
