Using pik.0.3.0..pre.msi and getting Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied

[InvisibleTech]

First, except for my various issues with the corporate proxy (over which I have next to zero control) I am grateful for Pik when I have it working.

NOTE: after running the msi on top of my prior install (my bad) I cannot switch rubies. So I am trying to get back to where I can switch them. After that I really want to see if I can use Pik to install JRuby... but first things first. The issue....

The scenario - use the msi to install Jruby. I am using the msi because another issue here said that was the fix for the "gsub"private method issue using "normal"pre0.3.0 Pik.

The downloader code is an extension of open-uri. Open-uri doesn't support password authentication, so I'll have to think on this one a bit.

As far as not being able to switch rubies, did you run 'pik refresh' after upgrading?

[vertiginous]

nevermind, the code is in there. I just needed to read it. I think you need to set an HTTP_PROXY env variable like this:

set HTTP_PROXY=http://user:password@server:port/

Let me know if that works. If not, we'll dig deeper.

Thanks for the quick reply, I was able to move back to the previous version
of pik from the gem and after some implode, config action I'm back to status
quo.

Regarding Open uri, I know I got gem working behind the proxy using
http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubysspi/, is this related?

Due to our domain (Windows) and password requirements, this format cannot be used - even if I URL encode the \ required to delimit the domain name from user id. Also, we have password constraints requiring use of numbers and special chars. I tried URL encoding, it did not work. Without URL encoding, did not work.

OT: The PIK installer upgrade still not working:

1 uninstall pik 2.x from current ruby
2 install msi for 0.3.0
3 run pik refresh
4 can "see"but cannot us 1.9

Session:

C:\Windows\System32>pik list
=> ruby-1.8.7-p334
ruby-1.9.2-p180

C:\Windows\System32>pik use ruby-1.9.2-p180

C:\Windows\System32>pik list
=> ruby-1.8.7-p334
ruby-1.9.2-p180

C:\Windows\System32>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2011-02-18 patchlevel 334) [i386-mingw32]

FYI - I used http://rubyinstaller.org/ to install initial 1.8 and needed it for 1.9 due to proxy issues... but in pik 1.2 I was able to switch back and forth.

Thanks

I had HTTP_PROXY with proper <user>:<url encoded password>@proxy_host:proxy_port value
I was ok for git, pip ...
But pik for

pik package 7zip install

I got:

Error: Failed to download ...: Proxy Authentification Required

Then I've tried cntlm as proxy in the middle between pik and corporate proxy.
And it worked!
