I've only tested under Arch Linux, so I'm not sure if it's just a packaging issue or not? (worked) openssl-1.0.0.f openssl-1.0.0.g openssl-1.0.0.h (did not work - timeout) openssl-1.0.1-1 I decided to try different OpenSSL versions after testing with Python/Requests. The error I got with Python said: requests.exceptions.SSLError: _ssl.c:488: The handshake operation timed out -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
