Description
(This was originally reported as RubyGems issue https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/issues/1012, contributors determined this is actually a bug in core Ruby.)¶
Per issue https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/issues/825, RubyGems is supposed to be setting the HTTP User-Agent header, like:
RubyGems/2.2.2 x86_64-darwin-13 Ruby/2.1.0 (2013-12-25 patchlevel 0)
However, network tracing reveals that the User-Agent header is not being sent on HTTP CONNECT requests to the proxy server, which is needed for some companies to be able to white-list RubyGem traffic. Only bare minimal headers are present:
CONNECT api.rubygems.org:443 HTTP/1.1
Host: api.rubygems.org:443
Please set the HTTP User-Agent header on HTTP CONNECT requests.
Thanks!
