Change gem user agent

Ruby
1

How do I change the gem user agent? We are behind a proxy server which
does not allow the gem user agent.

I checked /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/ on Ubuntu.

Thanks.

It’s in
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rubygems-update-1.3.7/lib/rubygems/remote_fetcher.rb
lines 316-319 on my rubygems 1.3.7. Normally I wouldn’t suggest
changing
it in the files directly but I don’t see a convenient way to get around
it.
