Download a cacert.pem for RailsInstaller

Why?

There is a long standing issue in Ruby where the net/http library by default does not check the validity of an SSL certificate during a TLS handshake. Rather than deal with the underlying problem (a missing certificate authority, a self-signed certificate, etc.) one tends to see bad hacks everywhere. This can lead to problems down the road.

From what I can see the OpenSSL library that Rails Installer delivers has no certificate authorities defined. So, let's go fetch some from the curl website. And since this is for ruby, why don't we download and install the file with a ruby script?

Installation

The Ruby Way! (Fun)

MessagePack for Ruby version 5

MessagePack for Ruby version 5

Today, I released the new version of MessagePack for Ruby!

Even faster

I rewrote all the code and achieved significant performance improvement, especially for serialization. I compared the new version to the old version (v4) using ruby-serializers benchmark, and the new version is faster for all data sets including Twitter, Image, Integers, Geo and 3D model.

ruby-1.9.3-p385 cumulative performance patch for rbenv

This installs a patched ruby 1.9.3-p385 with various performance improvements and a backported COW-friendly GC, all courtesy of funny-falcon.

Requirements

You will also need a C Compiler. If you're on Linux, you probably already have one or know how to install one. On OS X, you should install XCode, and brew install autoconf using homebrew.
