Question

In a shoes application am trying to download stuff from some internal websites. I get this error

Error in /tmp/selfgz14214/ruby/lib/net/protocol.rb line 66 undefined method 'closed?' for #<OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket:0xb6af94f0> 

I got the above error for this code. This give the above error if used from Shoes.

require 'net/http' require 'net/https' require 'rexml/document'  class Blogs   attr_reader :Connection    def initialize     @Connection = Net::HTTP::new('someInternalWebSite', 443)     @Connection.use_ssl = true   end    def get_blogs     doc = REXML::Document.new @Connection.get('/weblogs/feed/entries/atom').body     blogs = Array.new     # ----- some crap to parse the blogs     return blogs   end  end 

Note this problem only happens when run from inside shoes.

Also using the inbuilt download method in shoes it doesn’t return, not even start event gets raised. The following is the code for that

download 'https://internalWebsite/weblogs/feed/entries/atom', :start => lambda {   alert 'hello' }, :progress => lambda {   alert 'progress' }, :finish => lambda {   alert 'finish' } 

Answer 1

Shoes doesn’t support HTTPS in the current version.
