OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError: certificate verify failed open-uri
I wrote a web-crawler today for one of my other projects, and ran into the above problem “OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError: certificate verify failed”, well I was just collecting websites and didn’t really care about the validity of SSL certificates, so I just wanted a quick fix.
Here it is:
require ‘openssl’
OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
Essentially, I just change the constant for VERIFY PEER to the Value of VERIFY NONE, pretty sneaky :-), and no real work required.
