# I am trying to replicate the successful connection granted by issuing the following command:
# openssl s_client -dtls1 -cipher DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA -connect 209.87.112.215:34135

require 'socket'
require 'openssl'

socket = TCPSocket.open('209.87.112.215', 34135)
ssl_context = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext.new
#ssl_context.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
ssl_context.ssl_version = :TLSv1
ssl_context.ciphers = "DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA"
ssl_socket = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.new(socket, ssl_context)
ssl_socket.sync_close = true
ssl_socket.connect

## Error occurs here, and I have a feeling it has to do with my failure to replicate
## the -dtls1 option in my ruby code:
#
# OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server hello A: sslv3 alert handshake failure
#	from (irb):11:in `connect'
#	from (irb):11

while line = ssl_socket.gets
