Hint: you passed an OpenSSL::X509::Certificate to a method which was 
expecting a String.

That's the problem. ca_file needs to be a string which contains the 
filename of a CA certificate.

If you read /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/https.rb (or wherever it is on your 
system) you'll find the docs inline:

: ca_file, ca_file=((|path|))
    Sets path of a CA certification file in PEM format.
    The file can contrain several CA certificats.

: ca_path, ca_path=((|path|))
    Sets path of a CA certification directory containing certifications
    in PEM format.
