If you’re using the MacPorts version of OpenSSL, and have a Ruby installed either by MacPorts or RVM, you’ve probably clashed with the dreaded “SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed” message
(Or you’ve forced the verification check off, which is not a good idea )
Quick fix:
port install curl curl-ca-bundle
ln -s /opt/local/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt /opt/local/etc/openssl/cert.pem
(using sudo as needed)
