使用Ruby Gem'cryptsy-api'时，OpenSSL :: SSL :: SSLError“证书验证失败”

Question

I'm trying to use the cryptsy-api gem, but seem to have some sort of SSL error. Here's the output in my irb session:

First I load the api:

$ irb
2.1.2 :001 > require 'cryptsy/api'
 => true

Then I set the two variables needed to make a connection (using fake names for this example)

2.1.2 :002 > key = 'thisisasecretkeythisisasecretkeythisisa'
 => "thisisasecretkeythisisasecretkeythisisa"
2.1.2 :003 > secret = 'thisisasecretkeythisisasecretkeythisisasecretkeythisisasecretkeythisisasecretkey'
 => "thisisasecretkeythisisasecretkeythisisasecretkeythisisasecretkeythisisasecretkey"

Now I instantiate a new instance:

2.1.2 :004 > cryptsy = Cryptsy::API::Client.new(key, secret)
 => #<Cryptsy::API::Client:0x007fcf6b81aff0 @key="thisisasecretkeythisisasecretkeythisisa",     @secret="thisisasecretkeythisisasecretkeythisisasecretkeythisisasecretkeythisisasecretkey", @private_caller=nil>

Here's where I get the error. When I call a method on the instance, it throws this error:

2.1.2 :005 > cryptsy.getinfo

Any ideas why this happens? Am I forgetting to load some other gem?

Was at http://CascadiaRuby.com conference and talked with @thagomizer_rb who had been bitten by a bug like this a half dozen times. Apparently the OpenSSL libraries that ship with a Mac are out of date.

The fix was to install a more recent version of OpenSSL. My solution was to use brew:

$ brew update && brew install openssl
