Subject: Error with openssl in 1.8.4 on XP?

I've been trying to consume a SOAP service using ruby, which should be 
simple enough, but I need to work across Https and there seems to be no 
way to do this currently.

The only message I get is OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError and then a stack trace 
that leads back into http.rb line 588, which is where it asks the socket 
to connect. There is no informative error message and the problem 
appears to be in the binary rather than in the ruby source.

In the last few days of beating my head against the wall over this one 
I've found various discussions that suggest there is a problem with 
openSSL on the Windows version of 1.8.4 - I have only managed to get 
anything working when I tried it on my Debian Box, running 1.8.2 - I 
don't know if it's the version or the Debian but I can make https 
requests successfully from there. Solutions I've seen suggested have 
included rolling back to 1.8.2 and erasing old versions of the libraries 
in the /site_ruby/ directory. The latter doesn't work, the former I'd 
prefer to avoid if possible.

I was wondering if anyone has come up with an authoritative solution to 
this, or a handy quick-fix? If not, where should I be going to file a 
bug report?
