Paypal IPN verify call fails - "certificate verify failed (unable to get local issuer certificate)"

[erikrothoff]

Getting the following SSL error when calling the ipn_verify method in the Ruby API. It seems that the included certificate is deprecated? Where can we find the correct certificate?

SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed (unable to get local issuer certificate)

Sample code:

@api = PayPal::SDK::Merchant.new
if @api.ipn_valid?(request.raw_post) # Crash on this line
  # do stuff
end

We haven't change anything and are using the most recent libraries.

Currently our IPN functions are not working so is getting desperate.

Hi PayPal. We're using the Ruby SDK Core gem and it's failing on the IPN verification with this error. Are you working on a fix? Thanks.
