I tried to run some basic automated tests using ruby selenium webdriver. The same code works perfectly on my home computer, but fails on my work computer which is behind a proxy (which doesn't require authentication).
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox, :profile => 'default'
The error I get is:
C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/selenium-webdriver-2.24.0/lib/selenium/webdriver/remote/http/common.rb:66:in `create_response': unexpected response, code=
403, content-type="text/html" (Selenium::WebDriver::Error::WebDriverError)

The browser opens with correct profile, but resulting driver variable is nil. I even tried to manually setup the proxy on the profile with no luck.
Any ideas ?
