How do I make HTTParty ignore SSL?

Question

I'm using a local server to test an application, and make requests to that server from my own machine.

The test server's SSL is bad, and HTTParty throws errors because of that. From what I read, HTTParty should ignore SSL by default, but when I try to do this:

HTTParty.get( "#{ @settings.api_server }#{ url }" ).parsed_response 

It throws this error:

OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError at / SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed 

How do I make it ignore the SSL?

Answer 1

In the latest HTTParty, you can use the verify option to disable SSL verification;

HTTParty.get( "#{ @settings.api_server }#{ url }", :verify => false ).parsed_response
