Hi, is there somewhere good documentation about ruby-openssl API? or
any good tutorial? The RDOC is hard to read:
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/openssl/rdoc/index.html
Thanks a lot.
PD: Is there any other alternative to ruby-openssl?

Probably best just to look at some code which uses it. Net::HTTPS would
be a good start for a TLS client. For TLS server, I did some
reverse-engineering to build ruby-ldapserver, and now I use that as my
reference implementation

Depends what you want to do.
ruby’s ext/openssl is just a thin wrapper around the openssl library. If
you want to do things like open and accept TLS sessions, it’s your main
option. I don’t know if alternatives like GNU-TLS have been wrapped for
ruby.
However, if you want to do things like symmetric encryption, there are
quite a few other libraries.

Then I’ll check it
quite a few other libraries.
I just want openssl to check certificates (verify that they are signed
by a CA and so).
I’ve already tested ruby-openssl a bit doing such stuff (loading a
cert, loading a CA, veriy the cert with the public key of the CA… it
seems to work ok)

There are also several examples included with the Ruby source. Look in
sample/openssl.
