Rails - Apr 2006 - OpenSSL: SSL_CTX_new:: library has no ciphers

I''m trying to do a basic get or post operation using Net::HTTP in SSL
mode.

I''m on TextDrive, which runs ruby 1.8.2; however, I have the /net
folder
from ruby 1.8.4 in my /lib to support net/https, which doesn''t appear
to be
present in 1.8.2.

http = Net::HTTP.new "www.beanstream.com", 443

  http.use_ssl = true
  http.start {
   http.request_get("/scripts/process_transaction?" + @data) {|res|
    @response_plain = res.body
   }
  }

When I try to run this code, it craps out at the http.start. I''ve tried
several iterations and examples; either OpenSSL fails, or 1.8.2 doesn''t
support use_ssl and there is no net/https.rb in 1.8.2.

Possible solutions:
1. What can I do to make this work on TextDrive?
2. What other possible options to I have to make this https request and 
fetch the results. At this point, I''m not above ugly hacks -
I''m on a
deadline, and this is killing me.

Regards,
Pete

I had the same problem some time ago (not on TextDrive) and remember
that this was a version problem. I can''t remember if downgrading the
openssl lib or the openssl-ruby bindings helped. Openssl 0.9.7g did not
have this failure.

This works for me with Ruby 1.8.2 on OS X and FreeBSD 4.11:

http = Net::HTTP.new(host, 443)
http.use_ssl = true
response = http.get2(path_and_query_string)
