Subject: [ruby-core:67135] [ruby-trunk - Bug #10627] gem update fails with a certificate verification error

Issue #10627 has been updated by Martijn Saly.


Please note, I just freshly installed Ruby 2.1.5 on a different machine. Same problem.

I shouldn't have to manually solve problems like this on a virgin installation!
Please un-reject this issue and provide a proper solution.

Bug #10627: gem update fails with a certificate verification error
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10627#change-50635

* Author: Martijn Saly
* Status: Rejected
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Category: 
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.1.5p273 (2014-11-13 revision 48405) [x64-mingw32]
* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
Whenever I execute `gem update` or `gem update --system` it returns this error:

~~~
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
    SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed (https://api.rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)
~~~

This is on Ruby 2.1.5 with Gem 2.4.2 on Windows 7 x64.
I'm using the x64 version from here: http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/

This is 100% reproducible, in a normal and in an elevated command prompt.

Not sure if this is a security problem. I'm fairly sure this problem did not exist a couple of days ago, using the exact same client. This indicates there's a problem on the remote server, and not really on my end.
