I know almost nothing about Ruby, but the ssl_verifyhost option is not a
boolean value. It accepts values of either 0, 1, or 2. Try doing
curl.ssl_verifyhost = 0
Most languages have false == 0, but maybe Ruby is different? Worth a shot
anyway...

Subject: RE: Certificate subject does not match target host name

In ruby I uses this code:

curl = Curl.new
curl.postfields = xmlRequest
curl.url = "https://remote.server:10012"
curl.ssl_verifypeer = false
curl.ssl_verifyhost = false #crashes in this line
headers = ["Content-Type: text/xml"]
curl.httpheader = headers
curl.perform
xmlResponse = curl.body_str

But it crashes. Any ideas what version of Ruby is stable enough?
