From: Peter McGregor Date: 2002-07-04T13:19:06+09:00 Subject: Command Expansion problem Hello, I am using the following command inside ruby runCmd = %x{curl --proxy 192.168.0.5:3128 -d userName=aaaa -d password=password -d command=put -o ./temp/putOutput.txt -d fileName=abc --config ./temp/tmpDataConfig.txt https://192.168.0.8/RF/RemoteFileAccess} This command fails within ruby but works on the command line{in Linux} Within Ruby Curl tries to open a Config file but silently fails. Is Ruby supposed to allow OS type commands like Curl to open their own files? I looked at ruby libCurl but it doesn't run on windows. Thanking you in advance Peter McGregor
