Heroku Create Unknown Protocol SSL Error

I'm new to Ruby and have created a site in Rails, I'm trying to run heroku create on my Windows machine and after generating a public key through git gui, I'm getting this error

Uploading ssh public key C:\Users\me/.ssh/id_rsa.pub c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:590:in connect': unknown protocol (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/htt开发者_开发技巧p.rb:590:inconnect' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:557:in do_start' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:546:instart' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rest-client-1.4.2/lib/restclient/request.rb:150:in transmit from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rest-client-1.4.2/lib/restclient/request.rb:55:inexecute' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rest-client-1.4.2/lib/restclient/request.rb:30:in execute' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rest-client-1.4.2/lib/restclient/resource.rb:63:inpost' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/heroku-1.9.9/lib/heroku/client.rb:464:in send' ... 17 levels... from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/heroku-1.9.9/lib/heroku/command.rb:20:inrun' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/heroku-1.9.9/bin/heroku:13 from c:/ruby/bin/heroku:19:in `load' from c:/ruby/bin/heroku:19

Is there something I need to set up for SSL?

Thanks for any help in advance.

I'd try reinstalling Ruby using something like http://rubyinstaller.org/
