Trying to use a proxy with Watir... (Rails)

I have a few proxies I want to use with my Watir integration that use authentication. There is no documentation for auth with proxies (http://watir.com/guides/proxies/). From a previous SO article, I read that it's supposed to be in this format: 

proxy = {
      http: 'http://user:[email protected]:3128',
      ssl:  'https://user:[email protected]:3128'
    }

I create my browser object with the proxy like this: browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome, headless: true, proxy: proxy

What am I doing wrong? Why isn't it routing the connection through the proxy?

Watir is largely based on selenium. Selenium does not support authorization with proxying as of the time of this posting.

An issue has been brought up https://github.com/watir/watir/issues/798 but nothing has come of it yet. Possibly in the future; but I would suggest looking at alternative methods for right now.
