read server certificate B: certificate verify failed

[tyler-ball]

@metadave is having an issue where the following breaks on a fresh ChefDK install:

require 'net/http'
Net::HTTP.get(URI('https://www.chef.io/chef/install.sh'))

This is the same issue reported in chef-boneyard/chef-provisioning#343. It also looks similar to rubygems/rubygems#1050 but that fix was packaged in Rubygems 2.4.4, the version we're already including in the latest ChefDK (0.6.0).

Running gem update --system causes a different error but then gem update --system 2.4.4 seems to resolve everything. Fetching https://www.chef.io/chef/install.sh no longer fails.

I'm not seeing the same thing on my machine with a fresh ChefDK install. I used the instructions at https://rvm.io/support/fixing-broken-ssl-certificates to fix when I was having similar issues.

running an OSX Yosemite update via App Store resolved this issue.
