ruby ssl soap error on create

Question

When I try to create a soap object, I get a fault when I first initialize the class. I can't set driver.options["protocol.http.ssl_config.verify_mode"] = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE because its already faulted. Any ideas?

require 'soap/wsdlDriver' => []

wsdl = "https://somesiteinhttps.com" driver = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).create_rpc_driver at depth 0 - 20: unable to get local issuer certificate

OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed

Somewhat figured it out. Downgraded ruby to 1.8.5 instead of using 1.8.7 and the same code worked.

Answer 2

Answer 3
