Gems, Proxy authentication

John_T · 26 August 2008 15:38

Hello.. My company recently changed to a new proxy server and now my gem
update commands aren't working. Doing a gem update gives me:

Updating installed gems
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Zlib::BufError)
buffer error

I searched and found the rubysspi gem
(http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubysspi/
). I installed it and configured as per the directions and set my
http_proxy environment var:

set http_proxy=http://192.168.4.3:3128

(I also edited the gem.bat command to automatically include the library
-rspa)

But now I get:

Updating installed gems
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
bad response Proxy Authentication Required 407
(http://gems.rubyforge.org/la
test_specs.4.8)

I'm not sure what the problem is or what to do to fix! Justin Bailey you
out there?

Thanks!

Small update. I tried running the gem command like this:

ruby -rspa c:\ruby\bin\gem update

and it returns:

Updating installed gems
ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
Error occurred during proxy negotiation. req: "NTLM
TlRMTVNTUAABAAAAt4II4gAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFASgKAAAADw=="; res:

07 Proxy Authentication Required readbody=true>; Original message:

INVALID_TOKEN

Yeah, not any better...

Hi, me too
I set http_proxy environment var and after executing

gem list -r

I got:
*** REMOTE GEMS***
Error: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
HTTP Responce 407

can you help me to overcome that evil proxy?
Is there a gem with topnotch proxy support?

Thank you for your attention.

I was finally able to get it to work by including the username and
password in the environment var:

HTTP_PROXY=http://username:password@192.168.4.4:1234

(replace username, password and proxy address/port as necessary)

that made it work. I just have to remember to change it when I have to
change my password, every 90 days...

Ruby does not support NTLM authentication by default which is what your proxy probably uses. Maybe this will help: http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyntlm/

Hm. Not sure. The first one you list below did work for me. I didn't
have to include the domain.

Try typing the 'env' command to list the environment variables - there
is one defined for me:

USERDOMAIN=mydomain

It should already be set, and I don't know if that's used. Also I did
install that rubysspi gem, but am not sure if that's helping or not...

Hi, John.
I found out that proxy I had trouble with use ntlm authentication
indeed. I tested gem against the other proxy which accepts both ntlm and
basic authentication and it let gem through. I use env var http_proxy
with user and password set as you suggested Eric. Thank you guys! My
trouble is over
