This is just a note to remind me. Ruby and ruby gems don’t automatically pick up on your proxy information in IE. Instead, find out the proxy and set the following environment variables.
in windows:Â set http_proxy=http://user:password@internalcorporateproxy.com
in cygwin/unix: export http_proxy http://user:password@internalcorporateproxy.com
But wait, there's more

I believe that you also want the port at the end of it. So, something like export http_proxy=user:password@internalcorporateproxy.com:8080
