Rails - Dec 2005 - OpenSSL ''no ciphers'' error on OS X when using Net::HTTP

OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError: SSL_CTX_new:: library has no ciphers

This error is thrown whenever I use anything that uses Net::HTTP. OS X
Tiger, ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin8.2.1]

What could it mean?

Joshua Sierles

It means that the ruby that ships with OS X is busted and you''ll need  
to compile from source or use something like darwin ports or fink.

Does anyone know if the last security update (2005-009), which
included an upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.7i, fixed this problem? Or affected
it in any way?

More info on the update:

I''m getting the same error.  However, I have installed ruby via 
DarwinPorts.  For kicks, I also installed the "fixed" rbconfig.rb file
in my machine as detailed here 
(http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/RailsOnOsx#5) and have also 
disabled Apple''s Ruby by renaming it to /usr/bin/ruby.apple.

Is there anything else I should be doing?

Try ruby 1.8.3?  gem update everything?

No, I haven''t... mainly because the main RubyOnRails.com recommends 
1.8.2 for use with Rails.  I''m also already up-to-date with everything
I
installed with Gem.

Just to be more specific, here''s what I''m seeing:

I installed from darwinports -- ruby 1.8.2, which included a
dependency for OpenSSL 0.9.8a

I see the exact same error as Duane.

Whenever I have seen this problem on OSX it has been because of the  
need to compile ruby with Open-SSL support built in. So you might  
need to try and recompile ruby and make sure to use the flags to show  
it where your Open-SSL install is located. I don''t know the commands  
offhand but I remember doing this a long time ago.

Thanks, Ezra.  Got me started in the right direction.

I followed the instructions at http://hivelogic.com/articles/ 
2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger and got it all to work.

Duane,

How did you compile ruby against openssl? What flags did you set?

Thanks,
EJC

I didn''t do anything special.  Just followed the directions given on  
that page.  Are you coming across some error messages?

No, I hadn''t tried it yet -- wanted to make sure I got it right the
first (ok, second) time ;)

Diving in now.

Thanks!

OK. This is a hack, and I can''t believe I''m posting it on a
public
mailing list.

But if you all you need is to grab HTML via Net::HTTP, you can just  
comment out line 38 in protocols.rb and non-SSL gets will work.
