I can't see why it would be different on Windows vs. Unix, but who
knows? At any rate, this is what I do on my Unix box (no Windows here,
sorry):

@ca_file = "/path/to/remote/server's/pub/key"
@proxy = ENV['HTTP_PROXY'] || ENV['http_proxy'] || nil
@client = HTTPClient.new(proxy)
@client.ssl_config.set_trust_ca(@ca_file)

You might also find useful the example code at
