How can I wrap every request with RestClient to use :verify_ssl => false?

I'm trying 

RestClient.add_before_execution_proc do |req, params|
  req(:verify_ssl => false)
end

It isn't working.

In response to @alb-i986's comment for @AlexandreAngelim's answer, I've written the follow monkey patch that wraps the constructor of RestClient::Request class instead so it would work with the latest RestClient:

module RestClient
    class Request
        orig_initialize = instance_method(:initialize)

        define_method(:initialize) do |args|
            args[:verify_ssl] = false
            orig_initialize.bind(self).(args)
        end
    end
end

I'd write my own helper wrapper for the RestClient calls rather than modifying global state, since global changes make it hard for someone reading your code to understand what's happening.

For example:

def insecure_restclient_get(url, headers={}, &block)
  RestClient::Request.execute(verify_ssl: false, method: :get, url: url, headers: headers, &block)
end

def insecure_restclient_post(url, payload, headers={}, &block)
  RestClient::Request.execute(verify_ssl: false, method: :post, url: url, payload: payload, headers: headers, &block)
end

Also note that if you're setting verify_ssl: false you might as well not be using https at all.

You can also consider creating a simple class to encapsulate your needs and execute a get/post/... rest without verify_ssl

(check https://github.com/rest-client/rest-client/blob/master/lib/restclient/request.rb#L160)

Use the params instead of req. Those params will be passed to RestClient.execute, which is the entry point for all requests. 

RestClient.add_before_execution_proc do |req, params|
  params[:verify_ssl] = false
end
