My experience with Net::SSH was that there is pitifully little helpful
documentation for the OpenSSL ruby module. I finally had to go to
http://www.openssl.org and read those docs, and then dig into the ruby
module source code to see how it corresponded to the OpenSSL API... it
was not very fun.

If you have any specific questions, I may be able to help. There are a
few others on this list that are much more proficient at it than I am,
though, and they will almost certainly be able to answer anything that I
can't.

In my experience, looking for documentation on the less commonly used
functions in OpenSSL (the OCSP API, for example), is a frustrating

Shouldn't that be "until I get to 7"?

Depends on how you are understanding "until". Pseudocode:

i = 0
until i == 8
puts "%o" % i
i += 1
end
puts "%d" % i

It's probably time to change my sig, anyway. I've been getting too many
raised eyebrows from it. It was meant humorously.

I find that sigs pigeonhole me, much like bumper stickers or T-shirts
with slogans. I try to avoid them.

I see an opportunity for golfing!

I find that sigs pigeonhole me, much like bumper stickers or T-shirts
with slogans. I try to avoid them.

luckily for me i'm a pigeon.

To each his own. I find them fun, or thought-provoking. Some of the best
laughs I've had have been reading sig-lines on Slashdot posts.

what information are you looking for specifically?

--dross

any pointers other than the cvs site and rdoc stuff?

What kind of things are you looking to do with it?

WEBrick uses OpenSSL for SSL/TLS, and the DRbSSL protocol uses it to
perform both server verification and client authentication. There are
several examples in the /samples/openssl directory, as well.

That said, I actually do find many of your guys's sigs quite fun and
thought-provoking. So please ignore my rambling pontifications.
