Ruby 2.3.0 on Cygwin x64

Installing Ruby 2.3.0 on Cygwin x64

Warning!

You won't get a fully-functional installation! At the time of writing, it turned out gem is kind of broken on Ruby 2.3.0. Ruby gem installation fails with an error like kernel_require.rb:54:in require': cannot load such file -- win32/resolv`.

Download a cacert.pem for RailsInstaller

Why?

There is a long standing issue in Ruby where the net/http library by default does not check the validity of an SSL certificate during a TLS handshake. Rather than deal with the underlying problem (a missing certificate authority, a self-signed certificate, etc.) one tends to see bad hacks everywhere. This can lead to problems down the road.

From what I can see the OpenSSL library that Rails Installer delivers has no certificate authorities defined. So, let's go fetch some from the curl website. And since this is for ruby, why don't we download and install the file with a ruby script?

The Ruby Way! (Fun)
