 # Why?
 
-There is a long standing issue in Ruby where the *net/http* library by default does **not** check the validity of an SSL certificate during a TLS handshake. Rather than deal with the underlying problem (a missing certificate authority, a self-signed certificate, etc.) one tends to see [bad](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1555006/how-do-i-tell-rubys-openssl-library-to-ignore-a-self-signed-certificate-error) [hacks](http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/129530) [everywhere](http://www.peterkrantz.com/2007/open-uri-cert-verification/).

This can lead to [problems](http://www.rubyinside.com/how-to-cure-nethttps-risky-default-https-behavior-4010.html) down the road.
+
+From what I can see the OpenSSL library that [Rails Installer](http://railsinstaller.org) delivers has no certificate authorities defined. So, let's go fetch some from the [curl](http://curl.haxx.se/ca/) website. And since this is for ruby, why don't we download and install the file with a ruby script?
