Shoes: problem with http proxy

Ruby
1

I’ve problem to do remote (internet) operations in the Shoes graphics
toolkit when i’m behind a proxy (gem/download/… shoes methods).
The pc i use at work is a winXp machine, i set the ‘http_proxy’ env
variable correctly (outside shoes [eg. gem install xxx] is ok).
Ideas?

Shoes uses WinHTTP, so I’ll have to write some code for that. While
I’m there, do you think it would be more convenient to use IE’s
proxy settings?

mmm, i think http_proxy env var would be preferable:

  • uniformity (i see ruby uses this env variable all around);
  • avoid NTLM hell (demanding tools like cntlm the frucking
    proto-normalization stuff)

thanks

Okay, I just committed this. A new build for Windows should be out
soon, keep your eyes on the shoes blog. http://newwws.shoooes.net
