Just install ruby 1.9.3 and latest watir-webdriver, selenium-webdriver 2.22.0

ie=Watir::Browser.new:ie

The error returns are as follows:

Should it be moved to watir-webdriver issue tracker?

barancev: No, this belongs here.

Can you upgrade to the latest gem (2.24.0) and IEDriverServer.exe (2.24.1) and try
again?

Do you have a proxy configured on your system? The fact that WebDriver receives a response
with "Your cache administrator is <A HREF="mailto:mgeddes@autonomy.com">mgeddes@autonomy.com</A>."
seems to indicate a proxy between the Ruby client and the IE server.

Yeah, you are right. I remove the proxy config on the system and it works now.

@ jie.hua...@hp.com I am encountering the same problem. I am behind a proxy. Can you
tell me how you removed the proxy config on your system. I use ubuntu 12.04. Thanks
in advance !!!
