ignoring SSL error with Ruby SOAP

I'm trying to use wsdl on an https url. with reference to How do I tell Ruby's OpenSSL library to ignore a self-signed certificate error?

when i try this:

... OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE ::SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(SERVICE_URL).create_rpc_driver ...

I'm getting this error:

SyntaxError in ReportsController#wsdlCaller

/rails-root/app/controllers/reports_controller.rb:220: dynamic constant assignment ... = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE::SO...

How do i resolve this?

Thanks!

ok so i changed the syntax to

const_set(OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER, OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE)

and i resolved the dynamic constant assignment error. that was probably because i was trying to assign a value to a constant in a method.

i'm now stuck at a new error: uninitialized constant OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER. does anyone know why this is happening?

help! thanks.
