SSL errors verifying Prowl's certificate

[VxJasonxV]

I tried to use this gem to send some messages via Prowl, but doing so led to an SSL error both locally as well as on Heroku:

I even tried passing verify_certificate: false into the initialization parameters ( https://github.com/pixeltrix/prowler/blob/29931ce04336cc58f45732af00f33b5821cda431/lib/prowler/configuration.rb#L7 ), but that didn't seem to make a difference.

Is this because trusted roots are required to be implemented? ( https://github.com/pixeltrix/prowler/blob/29931ce04336cc58f45732af00f33b5821cda431/lib/prowler/configuration.rb#L47-L57 )

I'm not using this in a rails app. I could easily find a certificate bundle and create it at that path, but why is this a requirement?

I've the same problem. Do you found a solution?

When this gem failed, I switched to ruby-prowl instead.

[HeikoBornholdt]

Okay, I’ve switched to prowly.
