I downloaded Ruby installer for Windows, Installed Ruby, then tried

gem update --system

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)

SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed (https://api.rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)

gem update --system --source http://rubygems.org

Updating installed gems

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)

SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed (https://api.rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)

How to force it to use HTTP version of the host?

  • ruby 2.3.1p112 (2016-04-26 revision 54768) [i386-mingw32]
  • gem 2.6.7

what version of ruby are you trying to install? rubygems 2.4.4 is broken on windows. check out gist.github.com/luislavena/f064211759ee0f806c88 – baseballlover723
@baseballlover723: I added version information to the question. – Paul
try updating ruby gems to 2.6.8 because it has better ssl error messages and check out these github issues, they might be what your experiencing. github.com/rubygems/rubygems/issues/1758. guides.rubygems.org/ssl-certificate-update – baseballlover723

Hi sorry for the late response. Having the same problem and I've gotten to the point where it's actually api.rubygems.org sending the redirect to https!
