For some sites, whenever you try to open/load a https url it gives a certificate verification failed error.Below is the error detail
The solution is to install the certificate and tell your http object to use it in below 2 steps:
1. sudo port install curl-ca-bundle
2. https.ca_file = '/opt/local/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt'
or add the following, just next to http.use_ssl:
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
