Re: HTTPClient Suddenly Fails - Cannot Verify Certificate File

Heres is a test I ran from the rails console to verify that the issue is 
from my local machine, not the endpoint:

uri='https://www.rsa.com'

The last error response mentions "local issuer certificate" which leads 
me to believe the issue is opening the cacerts.p7s file.

Incidently, adding in:
client.ssl_config.set_trust_ca('/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/httpclient-2.1.5.2/lib/httpclient/cacert.p7s')

has no effect. I also tried calling client.ssl_config.set_trust_ca and 
pointing to "some other .pem file that sitting on the linux box 
somewhere" but that made no difference either.
