Hi,

you can use rubysspi gem for the same.  
install this gem first by downloading it from the net  
copy rspa.rb from the gem folder to your mswin32 folder(check readme of  
the  
gem)  
set ENV variables (PROXY\_HOST)  
run the plugin install command with  
ruby -rspa script/install …

Please let me know if you face any problems

Regards,
