I only want to be in control when my use case differs from the common case. I would wager that at least 95% of Gemfiles could source https://rubygems.org https://rubygems.org implicitly and automatically.
- steveklabnik 14y agoYou can't guarantee that Ruby has OpenSSL support compiled in, it's not required.
- vidarh 14y agoBut you can check, and fail if the user specifies https and it's not present, and give a warning if the user doesn't specify anything or specifies http and OpenSSL is not present. I still think mdavidn is probably right that 95% or similarly high number has OpenSSL available, and it makes little sense to inconvenience all of those users when you can inconvenience "just" the few who don't instead.
