What to use to access a steam through a proxy?

[Darren884]

Hi guys, I am making an application and I need to call a url through a proxy. Is there a way like in php that I can open a url and read its contents through a proxy in rails? What would I need to install for it? Thank you for all the help.

Have a look at the Net::HTTP library. That includes tools to handle raw HTTP connections, including those accessed through a proxy.

Thanks Do you know if it installed by default or do I have to install that library myself?

It's there by default with One-Click Ruby installer.
