Would you mind adding a few lines to use a possible HTTP proxy (configured via ENV['http_proxy']) instead of connecting directly? I was just sitting behind a company proxy and the script couldn't connect to bugmenot.com. Shouldn't be too hard according to the docs [1] (my ruby knowledge is zero), one would just keep in mind that people tend to use two formats. http_proxy=proxy:port http_proxy=http://proxy:port Sebastian [1] http://www.ensta.fr/~diam/ruby/online/ruby-doc-stdlib/libdoc/net/http/rdoc/classes/Net/HTTP.html Hi Matias,

http_proxy=proxy:port
http_proxy=http://proxy:port
