The downloader code is an extension of open-uri. Open-uri doesn't support password authentication, so I'll have to think on this one a bit. http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/435 As far as not being able...

nevermind, the code is in there. I just needed to read it. I think you need to set an HTTP_PROXY env variable like this: ``` set HTTP_PROXY=http://user:password@server:port/ ``` Let me...

I'm sort of stuck here. I'd prefer people didn't install to %PROGRAMFILES% in the first place. Windows 7 doesn't allow regular users (even users with admin privileges) to write files...

I've been thinking a lot about this. I think installing 7zip to ~/.pik is an acceptable workaround. I can do that for 7zip, and probably for some other packages. However,...

I see this too. I'll look into it.

pik's not unsetting $GEM_HOME and $GEM_PATH properly. ``` ~/Work/repo/pik > pik 1.9.2 ~/Work/repo/pik > gem list *** LOCAL GEMS *** ~/Work/repo/pik > unset GEM_HOME ~/Work/repo/pik > unset GEM_PATH ~/Work/repo/pik >...

Yeah, if you're not using GEM_HOME at all, the best way to fix it would probably be to modify ~/.pik/.pikrc to ``` #!/bin/sh pik_path=/c/bin function pik { $pik_path/pik_runner.exe pik.sh $@...

This isn't going to make it into the next release, but I'll get it in in the following release.

In the interim, you could try something like this (untested): In your current version, run ``` >pik config gem_home=C:\some\path >gem install list of clean gems ``` when you're done testing:...
