How do I test a response from Faraday?

I am writing a Ruby wrapper for a JSON API. I am expecting a specific type of response when a successful post is sent to that endpoint...but I am not sure how to actually get the response.

I am using Faraday like this:

  @connection ||= Faraday.new do |f|
    f.url_prefix = "https://myapiurl.com/api/auth"
    f.adapter :net_http

    f.headers['User-Agent'] = "Some-Awesome-User-Agent"
    f.headers['Content-Type'] = content_type
    f.headers['Accept'] = api_version
    f.params['API-KEY'] = api_key if api_key

    f.response :json, content_type: /\bjson$/
  end

However, when I do @connection.post, I keep getting an SSL error:

@connection.post
Faraday::SSLError: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed

If I am not mistaken, once I can fix the SSL error, I should receive some response object that I can then act upon right?

You get this error because your SSL cert is not signed by a trusted certificate authority (CA), or is not signed at all. You can pass the option {ssl: {verify: false}} to Faraday.new to force it skip CA verification.

@connection ||= Faraday.new(ssl: {verify: false}) do |f|
  # ...
end

This is okay for testing your own web api before buying an SSL cert, but don't do this when calling api's other than your own because without a CA, you can never tell whether the cert of that site is a fake.
