Hey all, We're on windows, using cygwin, behind a firewall with a proxy and having difficulty (understatement) installing rails. It seems that no combination of http proxy parameters and environment variables will get this to work, all of them result in the output copied below. At the same time, wget will download any of the listed files just file (with the http_proxy env variable set).
Any ideas? Thanks a bunch!
