# httparty Makes http fun again! ## Table of contents - [Working with SSL](#working-with-ssl) ## Working with SSL You can use this guide to work with SSL certificates. #### Using `pem` option ```ruby # Use this example if you are using a pem file class Client include HTTParty base_uri "https://example.com" pem File.read("#{File.expand_path('.')}/path/to/certs/cert.pem"), "123456" end ``` #### Using `pkcs12` option ```ruby # Use this example if you are using a pkcs12 file class Client include HTTParty base_uri "https://example.com" pkcs12 File.read("#{File.expand_path('.')}/path/to/certs/cert.p12"), "123456" end ``` #### Using `ssl_ca_file` option ```ruby # Use this example if you are using a pkcs12 file class Client include HTTParty base_uri "https://example.com" ssl_ca_file "#{File.expand_path('.')}/path/to/certs/cert.pem" end ``` #### Using `ssl_ca_path` option ```ruby # Use this example if you are using a pkcs12 file class Client include HTTParty base_uri "https://example.com" ssl_ca_path '/path/to/certs' end ``` You can also include this options with the call: ```ruby class Client include HTTParty base_uri "https://example.com" def self.fetch get("/resources", pem: (File.read("#{File.expand_path('.')}/path/to/certs/cert.pem"), "123456") end end ``` ### Avoid SSL verification In some cases you may want to skip SSL verification, because the entity that issue the certificate is not a valid one, but you still want to work with it. You can achieve this through: ```ruby #Skips SSL certificate verification class Client include HTTParty base_uri "https://example.com" pem File.read("#{File.expand_path('.')}/path/to/certs/cert.pem"), "123456" def self.fetch get("/resources", verify: false) # You can also use something like: # get("resources", verify_peer: false) end end ```
