Subject: gems and http proxy authentication

Hello, 

I am trying to use gems behind a proxy (squid) that requires
user/password for internet access

I have set the http_proxy environment variable like this:

http_proxy=http://login:password@proxy-hostname:8080

But gems gives the following error:

C:\rubygems-0.8.1>gem query --remote

*** REMOTE GEMS ***
Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (OpenURI::HTTPError)
    407 Proxy Authentication Required

I have checked the docs, but have not found any parameter or option in
the config file that can solve this.

Am I overlooking something? 

Thanks in advance.
