Cannot access HTTPS

Ruby
1

I used RVM to install Ruby 2.0 on my Mac OS X Mountain Lion. OpenSSL is
installed automatically by RVM before installing Ruby 2.0 (autolibs via
Homebrew). My problem is that ‘net/http’ cannot request through HTTPS.

Here is my script:
require ‘net/http’

uri = URI(‘https://github.com’)

Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port,
:use_ssl => uri.scheme == ‘https’) do |http|
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new uri

response = http.request request # Net::HTTPResponse object
end

puts response

Here is the output by running it:
/Users/siegfried/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/lib/ruby/2.0.0/net/http.rb:891:in
connect': undefined method set_params’ for

Does anyone have a clue? Thanks.

Looks like it may be a precedence problem. Try changing to this:

Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port,
:use_ssl => (uri.scheme == ‘https’)) do |http|

It’s binding the :use_ssl => uri.scheme first, then doing the compare

I had the same problem, and I found just adding require 'openssl' at
the
top of the script fixed the issue. I don’t know why though, didn’t have
this problem until updating to the latest ruby 2.0 via RVM.

Here is an example:

http = Net::HTTP.start(‘github.com’, 443, :use_ssl => true)

NoMethodError: undefined method `set_params’ for

I fixed the problem by reinstalling ruby by RVM.
