  <p>I have searched for the answer to this question. Here is a good example of an answer to this question:
  <a href="https://github.com/lostisland/faraday/issues/392" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/lostisland/faraday/issues/392</a></p>
  
  <p>The answer boils down to I need to have a pem file and tell Ruby where it is with the environment variable SSL_CERT_FILE.</p>
  
  <p>In my case it is not working.</p>
  
  <p>How would I fix this???</p>
