proxy support…

[victornoel]

Hello,

I am trying to use a gem that needs your gem, but I am blocked because I use a proxy and it seems that to download http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.2-p0.tar.gz your gem does not follow the proxy used by "gems install".

[victor@volte src]$ gem install linecache19 -p http://proxy.irit.fr:8001

+1 for this fix... we're trying to install ruby-debug19 in our CI server that's behind a proxy, but we have to do it by hand. :(

Reading the source code, I made it work by copying the ruby source (ruby-1.9.2-p0 directory) to /var/lib/hudson/jobs/nephelae# ls /opt/ruby/1.9.2-p0/include/ruby-1.9.1/ruby-1.9.2-p0, where our ruby installation lives.

Seems that ruby_core_source only recognize HTTP_PROXY environment variable in upper case. "http_proxy" is not recognized.

It's also necessary to add HTTP_PROXY to /etc/sudoers env_keep list, if you do 'sudo gem install'
