At work lately I’ve been developing a SOAP interface from a third party vendor we are currently using. In the process I’ve decided to use Ruby to do this. I need to learn more Ruby and I thought it would be easier to use than the last time I worked with Python and SOAP.
Thus far everything is working great, the only annoyance I have is that I keep getting this as output from my connection:
peer certificate won’t be verified in this SSL session
.
I know this is because I’m connecting to an HTTPS URL but there must be someway to quiet this error message down, because it’s really becoming irritating.
Some quick Googling turnes up this command:
https = Net::HTTP.new(URL, 443)
https.use_ssl = true
https.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
I included the first two lines to give context on how this was used and how it doesn’t precisely carry over to the SOAP module becuase it isn’t an option inherited by the SOAP object.
However I figured that the SOAP module must be creating an HTTP connection in there somewhere. So I decided to quickly jump into the source code and see what I can find. I located a single line in the source code for creating the HTTP object similar to how it’s used above.
/soap/netHttpClient.rb: http = Net::HTTP::Proxy(proxy_host, proxy_port).new(url.host, url.port)
After quickly firing up my vi and adding the line:
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
Even though it isn’t specifically creating a HTTPS connection here it ended up silencing the warnings. So I’ll just leave my code this way and enjoy it being much, much quieter.
