I just started supporting OpenID in my app. During development/testing I  
used MacOS X with Mongrel… no problems.

On deployment, I’ve got Ubuntu Feisty. Upon running my migration, I got  
this notice:

“OpenID Log: WARNING: no SSL support found. Will not be able to fetch  
HTTPS URLs!”

Sure enough, I can’t talk with typekey or other presumably other OpenID  
servers using https. Does anyone know what I’m missing? Is it the lack  
of SSL in my nginx conf or just a missing file on my Ubuntu install?

Any help is appreciated!

Ok, turns out the culprit was a missing libopenssl-ruby file.

cheers,
