Subject: [ruby-talk:21757] Accessing Internet thru proxy using NET:HTTP routines

My computer is behind a firewall, which prompts for a username & password.
Can anyone help me the additional code to respond to the proxy in an
automated fashion to access a Web site outside the firewall.

 h = Net::HTTP.new('sj.data.AIR.com', 80)
 resp,data = h.get('/data/area5.html', nil)
 puts resp.code
 puts data # data is nil


Thanks,
John
