This is really more about accessing rubygems and installing *anything* from behind a proxy, but for myself the whole purpose of installing Ruby and accessing RubyGems is for Watir, so might be useful for this list.
The problem lies with being behind a firewall and a normal command- line ruby install request not being able to access rubygems. I solved it with RubySSPI. This enables NTLM proxy authentication for Ruby on Windows. It uses the Microsoft Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI) to enable Ruby programs using Net::HTTP to authenticate via the proxy as the current Windows server. http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubysspi The gem includes a file called spa.rb. Copy this file to your site_ruby directory and then run the gem script directly: ruby -rspa 'C:\ruby191\bin\gem' install watir Easy. Done. Thought this might be useful for someone searching the list. - J -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support. In short: search before you ask, be nice.
