Accessing Litmus API results in an SSL error. Any way to resolve it? - ruby

Question

Summary: When I connect to Litmus via the gem, I get the following error:
OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv2/v3 read server hello A: tlsv1 unrecognized name
Accessing the api via curl with the same credentials works OK.
I found this solution for a similar error: SSL_connect SYSCALL returned=5 errno=0 state=SSLv2/v3 read server hello A - Faraday::Error::ConnectionFailed
Which recommends changing the SSL options in oauth:
ssl_options[:version] = :TLSv1
Is there a way to set the ssl options for Litmus? Is there another possible workaround?
Here's the full trace:

I'm thinking you'll need to patch base.rb's initialize method to accept an ssl version parameter, and then add something like this to the method:
def initialize(company, username, password, ssl = false, ssl_version)
protocol = ssl ? 'https' : 'http'
self.class.base_uri "#{protocol}://#{company}.litmus.com"
self.class.basic_auth(username, password)
self.class.ssl_version = ssl_version # <=
end
Then call it like:
Litmus::Base.new("xxx.litmus.com", "yyy#yyy.com", "zzz", true, :TLSv1)
Hope that helps, I did notice you posted an issue of the same topic in their Github repo. Perhaps you can fork & create a pull request.
