I am not able to install watir on Windows either by using the HTTP_PROXY environmental variable, nor by using the -p option for gem install. My firewall is password protected, so I get a 407 error.
I resorted to zipping up the cache directory from a machine that is not behind a firewall(C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\cache) and copying the zip file to the machine that is behind the firewall. Now, I need help with the right gem install command to get this local cache to be recognized. I appreciate it!
