So it seems as though my proxy is filtering based on User-Agent. I got
gem to install rails by changing gem's remote_fetcher.rb. In def request
you'll find
ua = "RubyGems/#{Gem::RubyGemsVersion} #{Gem::Platform.local}"
ua << " Ruby/#{RUBY_VERSION} (#{RUBY_RELEASE_DATE}"
ua << " patchlevel #{RUBY_PATCHLEVEL}" if defined? RUBY_PATCHLEVEL
ua << ")"
I replaced all of this with a blatant lie:
ua = "Wget/1.9.1"
and gem worked just fine, so it seems.
I know there are others around the World Wide Web that are having
similar issues. Without knowing how many of them are caused by this
issue: maybe it would be worth the little bit of effort to make
User-Agent a gem parameter?
Live long and prosper,
Najati
