OpenSSL Ruby 1.9? "Certificate verify failed"

[Alexandre Alex]

Hi Guys!

I'm trying to use OpenSSL with Ruby 1.9.1 but each time it tells me
"SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed
(OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError)".

Also, I had to copy ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll else it wouldn't have
"worked"..

Here's the ruby code:

require 'net/https'
require 'uri'

uri = URI.parse(ARGV[0] || 'https://gmail.com/')
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
http.use_ssl = true if uri.scheme == "https" # enable SSL/TLS
http.start {
http.request_get(uri.path) {|res|
print res.body
}
}

Nothing complex, I just don't understand WHY it doesn't work?! If
someone could help me, I'd be verry happy, I really don't know what to
do...

I've forwarded this with additional verification that windows is not
playing part to ruby-core@.

I've forwarded this with additional verification that windows is not
playing part to ruby-core@.

But then, if the certificate verification is stricter in Ruby 1.9, how
do I do to make it works?

Thank you very much!

Add the following, just next to http.use_ssl:

http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
