JRuby on Rails oddities

Having installed JRuby 1.1.3, I wanted to get the Rails gem. I followed this article, because it explains how to use JRuby, Rails and JDBC/MySQL.

But I got an unexplainable error: gem kept telling me that the connection had been reset by the server (Rubyforge). After adding the -p switch (use a proxy) without specifying a proxy host, it worked.

Thanks to Google (best result: this) and the guys from #jruby :)
