Those ciphers lsited are what I tried first, with no luck.  I'm using 
the Gentoo Ruby package ruby-1.8.2-r2; I'm not sure of the level of 
customization provided, however (sorry).  I know for a fact that it was 
compiled with the ssl USE flag set, though.

Note: I just recompiled and tested ruby-1.8.2 (that is, not 
ruby-1.8.2-r2), and it doesn't work either.

Thanks,
