when using :  
require ‘net/https’ under jRuby 0.92  
i get the following error :

/Users/yvon/bin/jruby/lib/ruby/1.8/openssl/cipher.rb:57:in `new’ wrong  
argument.

this is using the script given by “jin” at  
\<[www.jinsync.com/files/jinsync\_0.25\_alpha.zip](http://www.jinsync.com/files/jinsync_0.25_alpha.zip)\>

but most probably has nothing to do with jin’s script rather than jRuby  
environment.

Interesting. Can you pop over to the JRuby dev or user lists and report  
this again? The SSL support in JRuby is extremely new, so you may have  
stumbled on a problem with it.
