I am trying to install rails engines using the command

“ruby script\plugin install engines”

but getting the error

svn: REPORT request failed on ‘/rails\_engines/!svn/vcc/default’  
svn: REPORT of ‘/rails\_engines/!svn/vcc/default’: 405 Method not allowed  
(http:  
/opensvn.csie.org)

We have to use proxy server and I have added registry entries for svn to  
set http-proxy-host and http-proxy-port.

What else am I missing here?

I was able to get going by doing a svn check out as below:

svn co [https://opensvn.csie.org/rails\_engines/plugins/engines](https://opensvn.csie.org/rails_engines/plugins/engines)  
c:\rails\_apps\test\_app\vendor\plugins\engines

but it would be nice to use “ruby script\plugin install engines”

It sounds like the script/plugin command doesn’t work well with either  
your particular version of SVN, or your proxy (or indeed both)…
