Hi,

       Actually I think the command line is the better way. The command
lines like "C:\Documents and Settings>gem install rails --remote" also work
for me behind a proxy.
       Maybe you can show more details about what you called "gems on
windows im"? You did not tell us much about it.

Enjoy!

The proxy issue is completely and totally unrelated to how you use the
rubygems API. If you set your http_proxy environment variable to
http://yourproxyname:3128/, rubygems will pick it up.

Hi,

Pls pay attention to the points below:
1) Did you use a firewall that might block gem's communication? You can turn
off your firewall to have a try.
2) Did you set a correct env variable HTTP_PROXY? Or did you add the option
"-p" to your gem command?
-p, --[no-]http-proxy [URL] Use HTTP proxy for remote operations
3) Can you ping urls like http://gems.rubyforge.org successfully?
Hope you can succeed.

Rgds,

Hi,

I don't have a local firewall.

2) Did you set a correct env variable HTTP_PROXY? Or did you add the option
"-p" to your gem command?

Yes im using HTTP_PROXY, i tested with pear and its works fine.

-p, --[no-]http-proxy [URL] Use HTTP proxy for remote operations
3) Can you ping urls like http://gems.rubyforge.org successfully?

No i can't ping it, but that only means that icmp is blocked i thought
gems used HTTP connection, anyway is there another solution for me to
get rails and mongrel ?

Thanks in advance

When all else fails (your local proxying scheme is convoluted, some
obscure Internet Explorer only solution, authenticated, etc.), you can
always just download the gem files from RubyGems.org | your community gem host,
and install them from the download folder using "gem install *.gem" - of
course, you have to resolve various dependencies yourself in that case.

Thanks, i'll do that.
