Weird behaviour using ssl connection (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError)

Hi guys

when I execute the piece of code bellow on RoR console it works fine:

url = URI.parse("https://us1.api.mailchimp.com/2.0/helper/ping"\) request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url.path) http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port) http.use_ssl = true http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE request.body = "{\"apikey\": \"myapikey\"}"

response = http.start {|http| http.request(request) }

But when I try to use it on my RoR app I get the following error:

OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError (SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=unknown state: sslv3 alert handshake failure)

Someone know what could be happening?

Thank you all in advance!

Best regards

Paulo

How are you executing it from a browser?

First make sure your OpenSSL is working fine, then make sure you've the SSL headers installed and recompile Ruby. Also, see if the simplest form of connection works:

require "net/https" Net::HTTP.get(URI.parse("https://us1.api.mailchimp.com/2.0/helper/ping"\))

Hi Jordon,

thank you very much for your response!

I'm assuming that my OpenSSL is working fine and my Ruby is already compiled with SSL headers, since when I execute using Rails console it works fine.

Your code doesn't work because this endpoint don't allow http connection, only https. If I include the .use_ssl = true in your code, I get the same problem.

When I run this app using WEBrick it also works fine.

This problem only happens on Apache+PhusionPassenger...

Best regards

Paulo
