net/https package for Windows

[Joaquin Cuenca Abela]

Hi!

I'm just starting to play with ruby, and doing a toy application I
wanted to use the net/https module.

If I try to execute the program:

require 'net/https'
http = Net::HTTP.new('www.cise.ufl.edu', 443)
http.use_ssl = true
http.get2("/") { |r| p r.body }

I get "in `require': No such file to load -- net/https (LoadError)".

I interpret that as "you don't have the net/https module".
Does anybody know where can I find this module for windows? (I installed
the "One-Click Ruby Installer")

I've googled around a bit, but it seems that the ossl package has being
integrated in ruby long ago, so I don't know if net/https is supposed to
work out-of-the-box.

I'm sorry if this "installation" question doesn't suit this newsgroup.
If so, please just refer to the right mailing list or newsgroup (if any
).

Cheers,

Joaquin,

The "one-click installer" is indeed missing the OpenSSL libraries,
which provide (among other things) the 'net/https' module you're
trying to use.

I have a binary package which I could send you as a ZIP file; it just
includes the libraries as distributed in the mingw windows binaries at
http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mingw/.

Thank you, it will be much appreciated.

Just to know how to do it for the next time, is it enough to copy the .so
from the mingw distribution, rename it as .dll and put it in a folder where
ruby will find it, and copy the related .rb files?

Thank you for your help!

I once built something else with MinGW, and as far as I remember
renaming the .so file to .dll wasn't neccessary.

It is not only unnecessary, but wrong, don't rename .so as
dll. It's an obsolete feature that "require" searches .dll
files, because it often introduced confusions.

Any word on when openssl will be available in the one-click windows
installer? This seems like an important library to have.

Here's my vote for integrating it into the 1CWI.

I tripped over that, too.

/me votes for it.

The best thing to do is to create a "featrue request" for this:

Apparently some 'Nobody' did it already.
