Hello, I would like to install Openssl on a ruby install MacOs X Which one is the one to go for ? (I want to use it for gmail) How do I install it ? maybe it is so easy that I do not find any explanation on the web… I downloaded several openssl gems to my laptop… How to install ? Is there a tutorial somewhere… As you understood I am a MacUser but I am lacking Unix knowledge so the terminal isn’t really my favorite app… Thanks for helping out, Secufa ---

Hi, you’ll need to do the following in your Ruby application to acces the interface: require ‘openssl’ Good luck, -Conrad ---

Thank you very much for your help ! I still have the following problem : When I would like to configure actionmailer to use a gmail account the Ruby server crashes as soon as I activate the following line : ‘require smtp\_tls’ in environment.rb although I have put the smtp\_tls file in the ‘lib’ folder… (I was trying to follow this tutorial : [http://blog.pomozov.info/posts/how-to-send-actionmailer-mails-to-gmailcom.html](http://blog.pomozov.info/posts/how-to-send-actionmailer-mails-to-gmailcom.html) ) Has anyone an idea ??? Thanks in advance ! This is the output I get : xxx:~$ /home/xxx/apps/dir/public/…/config/ environment.rb:8:in `require’: no such file to load – smtp\_tls (LoadError) from /home/xxx/apps/dir/public/…/config/ environment.rb:8 from /home/xxx/apps/dir/public/dispatch.fcgi:21 xxx: (mod\_fastcgi.c.1048) the fastcgi-backend /usr/ bin/ruby /home/xxx/apps/dir/public/dispatch.fcgi failed to start: xxx: (mod\_fastcgi.c.1052) child exited with status 1 / usr/bin/ruby /home/xxx/apps/dir/public/dispatch.fcgi xxx: (mod\_fastcgi.c.1055) if you try do run PHP as FastCGI backend make sure you use the FastCGI enabled version.

Here’s how I used it (I found this somewhere.) require ‘socket’ require ‘openssl’ socket = TCPSocket.new(“[www.url.net](http://www.url.net)”) ssl\_context = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext.new() unless ssl\_context.verify\_mode warn “warning: peer certificate won’t be verified this session.” ssl\_context.verify\_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY\_NONE end sslsocket = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.new(socket, ssl\_context) sslsocket.sync\_close = true sslsocket.connect sslsocket.puts(“some text”) while line = sslsocket.gets p line end
