Change on the connect method on twitter-stream gem due to SSL requirements
Raw
twitter-stream-connection.rb
# Starting on 2011/09/29 Twitter Streaming API requires SSL to access.
# Twitter stream gem is a gem built over EventMachine to get access to Twitter Streaming API
# Unfortunately Twitter Stream uses http by default, not https.
# We have to pass two extra options to the connect method
stream = Twitter::JSONStream.connect(
:path => "/1/statuses/filter.json?track=20N",
:auth => "USER:PASS",
# And the extra params!!
:port => 443,
:ssl => true
