Add certificate verification
Hi,
In the project that I currently maintain the Realex code has been changed to support verification of the target certificated when using SSL.
Do you think this a good addition to Realex. I want to replace my local plugin with an official Realex gem, but need to address these local changes that were made.
Here is the change in client.rb:
def call(url,xml)
h = Net::HTTP.new('epage.payandshop.com', 443)
h.use_ssl = true
root_ca = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'cacert.pem')
if File.exist?(root_ca)
h.ca_file = root_ca
h.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER
h.verify_depth = 5
else
h.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
puts "Warning: no cacert.pem file found. Target host will be not checked."
end
response = h.request_post(url, xml)
result = Nokogiri.XML(response.body)
result
end
The cacert.pem file is stated to be taken from:
cacert.pem taken from http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html
this source have been used by active_mechant https://github.com/Shopify/active_merchant/blob/master/lib/certs/cacert.pem
As I said, I'm migrating a Rails 3.1 project to 3.2 and want to replace the local plugins with gem versions, but because of these local changes and that this is related to the payment I'm more cautious.
Thank you for your time.
