This was very helpful in pointing me in the right direction. After some experimenting I’ve found this code to disable HTTPS verification without any warnings or overriding any constants.

http = Net::HTTP.new(’secure.somehost.com’, 443)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
response = http.get(“/secured/page”)

Thanks again, I never would have found this without reading your post!

Nice, this helped me too. I did get a warning about the already initialized constant, though, so I did this:

module OpenSSL
module SSL
remove_const :VERIFY_PEER
end
end
OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
