Subject: [ruby-core:35821] [Ruby 1.8 - Bug #435] open-uri.rb 407 Proxy Authentication Required (OpenURI::HTTPError)


Issue #435 has been updated by Ben Bytheway.


Can this rejection be rethought?  This use of proxy url with user and password is a currently accepted way of being able to authenticate to a proxy.

Because open-uri doesn't honor this style of url, there is literally no way for me to use any ruby application which relies on open-uri to access web resources.

Bug #435: open-uri.rb 407 Proxy Authentication Required (OpenURI::HTTPError)

 Even if i set in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb proxy settings like that:
 module OpenURI
   Options = {
     :proxy => "http://user:password@192.168.1.1:8080",
     :progress_proc => true,
     :content_length_proc => true,
     :http_basic_authentication => true
   }
 i will get 407 error. 
 
 To fix that replace: 
       if proxy
         klass = Net::HTTP::Proxy(proxy.host, proxy.port)
       end
 with:
       if proxy
         klass = Net::HTTP::Proxy(proxy.host, proxy.port, proxy.user, proxy.password)
       end
