ssl - How to set SSLContext options in Ruby

Question

I need to create an SSLSocket in Ruby 1.8+ to talk to an encrypted service. I want to set SSL options on the SSLContext object (it eventually calls SSL_CTX_set_options in the underlying OpenSSL library). I am not seeing any obvious way to do this.

This is using the OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext interface.

As a point of reference, this is analogous to calling the set_options() in Python's pyOpenSSL library.

Example:

ctx = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext.new

ctx.set_params(:options => OpenSSL::SSL::OP_EPHEMERAL_RSA | OpenSSL::SSL::OP_NO_SSLv2)
# or
ctx.options = OpenSSL::SSL::OP_EPHEMERAL_RSA | OpenSSL::SSL::OP_NO_SSLv2
