OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError: SSL_CTX_new:: library has no ciphers
This error is thrown whenever I use anything that uses Net::HTTP. OS X
Tiger, ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin8.2.1]
What could it mean?
Joshua Sierles
It means that the ruby that ships with OS X is busted and you’ll need
to compile from source or use something like darwin ports or fink.

Does anyone know if the last security update (2005-009), which
included an upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.7i, fixed this problem? Or affected
it in any way?

I’m getting the same error. However, I have installed ruby via
DarwinPorts. For kicks, I also installed the “fixed” rbconfig.rb file
in my machine as detailed here
(Peak Obsession) and have also
disabled Apple’s Ruby by renaming it to /usr/bin/ruby.apple.
Is there anything else I should be doing?
Try ruby 1.8.3? gem update everything?

No, I haven’t… mainly because the main RubyOnRails.com recommends
1.8.2 for use with Rails. I’m also already up-to-date with everything I
installed with Gem.

Just to be more specific, here’s what I’m seeing:

I installed from darwinports – ruby 1.8.2, which included a
dependency for OpenSSL 0.9.8a
I see the exact same error as Duane.

Whenever I have seen this problem on OSX it has been because of the
need to compile ruby with Open-SSL support built in. So you might
need to try and recompile ruby and make sure to use the flags to show
it where your Open-SSL install is located. I don’t know the commands
offhand but I remember doing this a long time ago.

Thanks, Ezra. Got me started in the right direction.
I followed the instructions at http://hivelogic.com/articles/
2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger and got it all to work.

Duane,
How did you compile ruby against openssl? What flags did you set?
Thanks,
EJC

I didn’t do anything special. Just followed the directions given on
that page. Are you coming across some error messages?

No, I hadn’t tried it yet – wanted to make sure I got it right the
first (ok, second) time 
Diving in now.
Thanks!

OK. This is a hack, and I can’t believe I’m posting it on a public
mailing list.
But if you all you need is to grab HTML via Net::HTTP, you can just
comment out line 38 in protocols.rb and non-SSL gets will work.
