I'm not doing anything with OpenSSL, but I am curious. If you don't recommend somebody going down this path, what's the options? Particularly in the case of the OP question where he obviously has done quite a bit to try to get stuff to work.

The Ruby OpenSSL binding, on the other hand, is frozen into the standard library, a prison from which it will never escape, and worse, you should probably abandon any plans of your code working on any other Ruby implementation than MRI provided you do get something fixed.
