Hi group,

my gem ist working like a charm with http\_proxy (and friends)  
environment-variables as described here  
[http://blog.pomozov.info/posts/the-end-of-gem-vs-proxy-war.html](http://blog.pomozov.info/posts/the-end-of-gem-vs-proxy-war.html)

## But I have a problem (on windows) with

> ruby script/plugin discover

## c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:287:in `open_http': 407 Proxy Authentication Required ( Der ISA Server erfordert Autorisierung, um die Anfrage durchfhren zu k?nen.

Any hints?
