open-uri behind authenticated firewall

[Behrang Saeedzadeh]

Hi,

I am behind an authenticated firewall. I have been able to make gem go
through the firewall by setting the HTTP_PROXY env var to
http://user:[email protected] But the open method of the open-uri does
not go through this proxy by default.

open(address, roxy => "http://user:[email protected]") is not working.
Any ideas!?

Thanks,
Behi
