Ruby ssl soap error while creating

When I try to create a soap object, I get an error the first time I initialize the class. I cannot install driver.options ["protocol.http.ssl_config.verify_mode"] = OpenSSL :: SSL :: VERIFY_NONE because it already worked. Any ideas?

requires "soap / wsdlDriver" => []

wsdl = " https://somesiteinhttps.com " driver = SOAP :: WSDLDriverFactory.new (wsdl) .create_rpc_driver at depth 0-20: unable to get local issuer certificate

OpenSSL :: SSL :: SSLError: SSL_connect returned = 1 errno = 0 state = SSLv3 read server B certificate: certificate failed
