Openssl and windows

Ruby
1

one-click installer, 1.8.6-25, XP.

in irb if I require ‘openssl’ I get
=> false

even so, openssl seems to work, i.e. I can encrypt and decrypt, list the
ciphers, etc. why does the require return false? if I do the same
thing on linux irb returns true.

thx

The false just means that openssl has already been required, probably
by rubygems.

C:>irb

require ‘openssl’
=> false
exit

C:>echo %rubyopt%
-rubygems
C:>set rubyopt=-

C:>irb

require ‘openssl’
=> true
