Hi,
I'm somewhat new to Ruby. I'm trying to force myself to use Ruby rather
than perl to write a simple script to get a form from a url and post
data using http_access2. It seems simple enough except that the site
uses https and has a self-signed cert.
My code is quite simple:
client = HTTPAccess2::Client.new(proxy)
# etc...
content = client.get_content(login_url)
I get the error in OpenSSL (see below). I had a look at the http_access2
code and it seems to provide for configuring OpenSSL (I want to tell it
not to verify certs) but it's not exposed in the constructor. I'm not
familiar enough with Ruby to decode some of the syntax, so I'm not sure
if there is a way of passing options to ssl.
Any help most appreciated before I fall back on bad habits (i.e., Perl).
