I’m trying to install a Rails plugin from github using IronRuby 1.1.  
Unfortunately, all I can get is:

C:\sample\>ir -S script/plugin install git://  
[github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git](http://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git)  
Plugin not found:  
["git://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git  
"]

C:\sample\>ir ./script/plugin install git://  
[github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git](http://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git)  
Plugin not found:  
["git://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git  
"]

I also tried with 1.0 with the same results. Both versions were .NET  
4.0.  
Did I miss a thread?

Thanks,

Ryan R.

Can you install the plugin using MRI?

I’ve experiences this before, and I think it’s an issue with git on  
Windows,  
not the Ruby implementation.

Does it work if you use the http method?

No, I couldn’t get it to work either way. I didn’t try any other  
plugins,  
though, and this one seems to just be troublesome with IR. Other plugins  
may  
work just fine. I’m just not sure.

MRI works just fine. Is this a bug?
