RubyGems SSL Error and Workaround

Yesterday I ran into a little problem after installing Ruby and RubyDev via Chocolatey on my Windows virtual machine. Here’s the command that was giving me trouble:

C:\Users\Greg>gem install bundler

Which returned this error:

ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'bundler' (>= 0), here is why:
          Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - SSL_connect returned=1 er
=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed (https://api.rubygem
rg/latest_specs.4.8.gz)

So after a little research (Google), I found this tidbit which fixed me right up. Hope it helps you, too!
