Error when specifying proxy

ruby-talk
1

Hi,

When I set the HTTP_PROXY env var to
user:pass@http://proxy.monash.edu.au:8080 and run gem to install
Rials, I get the following error:

  C:\Documents and Settings\Behrang>gem install rails --remote
  ERROR: While executing gem ... (URI::InvalidURIError)
    can not set user with registry or opaque

Any ideas what is probably causing the error and how can I fix it?
(The environment is Win XP)

Regards,
Behi

It should be

http://user:pass@proxy.monash.edu.au:8080

if I remember correctly

You can also set this up in your .gemrc-file
