I accidentally stumbled upon a tweet that mentioned facebook quietly dealt with the poodle vulnerability in some manner, and i have a feeling it has to do with what im experiencing. im not sure how to solve it

Answer 1

Well basically, in case this happened to anyone -- I was using the omniauth-facebook gem, and something within that gem ( not sure where ) kept using sslv3 (even though facebook dropped it due to the POODLE vulnerability ). I simply switched to the koala gem instead and I was good to go!

Answer 2

Check out this question, it probably has the solution you are looking for. Also you can turn off SSL verification, obviously not a good permanent solution but it will allow you to run your app temporarily
