I'd use a block here and ensure after yield
respect SSL_CERT_DIR and SSL_CERT_FILE environment variables
* do not rely on distributed cacer.pem file * respect SSL_CERT_DIR and SSL_CERT_FILE * working OpenSSL platform has working default paths
* disable coverage tracking unless on CI

Will this be merged soon? |

It would be interesting to be able to use the system or any OpenSSL CA with httpclient, still I don't think it's a good idea to change casually for such a widely used lib. httpclient's policy was to bundle a CA, and that is well-documented. It might be the reason why some people use it. It's the same thing that Java does. It's also different from what net/http and most other ruby http clients do. So adding an option might be fine, changing basic policies for this I'd warn against - at least without a major version bump. |

A few users of GitLab are running into this issue while trying to get OpenID working with a self-signed certificate. Could we get this branch merged and released? |
By default, httpclient (and hence anything that uses rack-oauth2) ignores the system-wide SSL certificate configuration in favor of its own `cacert.pem`. This makes it impossible to use custom certificates without patching that file. Until nahi/httpclient#386 is merged, we work around this limitation by forcing the `HTTPClient` SSL store to use the default system configuration. Closes https://gitlab.com/charts/gitlab/issues/1436

@mikz could you please resolve conflicts? |
|
@floh96 no unfortunately, I no longer hold the context if this change is necessary or needed. Closing the PR. |

OpenSSL provides default certificate file and directory in:
OpenSSL::X509::DEFAULT_CERT_FILEOpenSSL::X509::DEFAULT_CERT_DIRThose defaults can be loaded by
OpenSSL::X509::Store#set_default_paths.On platforms that do not have this set up properly
HTTPClient::SSLContext#working_openssl_platform?can be made to return false and trigger the old behaviour.Closes #369
Also fixes failing build due to expired certificate in the test suite. New certificate will expire in 10 years.
