How to make HTTParty ignore SSL?

Question

I use a local server to test the application and send requests to this server from my own machine.

The SSL test server protocol is bad, and HTTParty throws errors because of this. From what I read, HTTParty should ignore SSL by default, but when I try to do this:

HTTParty.get( "#{ @settings.api_server }#{ url }" ).parsed_response 

It throws this error:

 OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError at / SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed 

How do I get to ignore SSL?

Answer 1

In the latest HTTParty, you can use the verification option to disable SSL verification;

 HTTParty.get( "#{ @settings.api_server }#{ url }", :verify => false ).parsed_response 

Answer 2

So that HTTParty always skips SSL certificate verification, and you do not need to indicate this with every call:

 require 'httparty' HTTParty::Basement.default_options.update(verify: false) HTTParty.get("#{@settings.api_ssl_server}#{url1}") HTTParty.get("#{@settings.api_ssl_server}#{url2}") HTTParty.get("#{@settings.api_ssl_server}#{url3}") # ... 

You can also do this for the class when you include HTTParty as a module:

 require 'httparty' class Client include HTTParty default_options.update(verify: false) end Client.get("#{@settings.api_ssl_server}#{url1}") Client.get("#{@settings.api_ssl_server}#{url2}") Client.get("#{@settings.api_ssl_server}#{url3}") 

Or

 require 'httparty' module APIHelpers class Client include HTTParty default_options.update(verify: false) end end World(APIHelpers) Client.get("#{@settings.api_ssl_server}#{url1}") Client.get("#{@settings.api_ssl_server}#{url2}") Client.get("#{@settings.api_ssl_server}#{url3}") 

Answer 3

If you still want to send certificates, use this flag:

 verify_peer: false 

Answer 4

It may be completely wrong, since I'm new to Ruby, but this is what worked for me when other solutions fail

 OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
