Subject: open-uri.rb causing proxy problems?

Hi,

I'm behind a squid proxy trying to install gems, to no avail (the
http_proxy env var is correctly set):

  Error fetching remote gem cache: 407 Proxy Authentication Required

I took a look at gem's remote_fetcher.rb, which in turn uses open-uri
as a wrapper to net/http:

      connection_options = {
        "User-Agent" => "RubyGems/#{Gem::RubyGemsVersion}",
        :proxy => @proxy_uri,
      }
      open(uri, connection_options, &block)

Examining open-uri.rb, I changed the line

      klass = Net::HTTP::Proxy(proxy.host, proxy.port)

to

      klass = Net::HTTP::Proxy(proxy.host, proxy.port, proxy.user,
proxy.password)

and it seems to work (probably user and proxy should be URI
unescaped).

Any thoughts?

Thanks
