How to use Typhoeus::Request object using https

I'm trying to make an https request using the Typhoeus::Request object and i don't get it working.

The code i'm running is something like this:

url = "https://some.server.com/"
req_opts = {
 :method => :get,
 :headers => { 
      "Content-Type"=>"application/json",
      "Accept"=>"application/json"
  },
 :params=>{},
 :params_encoding=>nil,
 :timeout=>0,
 :ssl_verifypeer=>true,
 :ssl_verifyhost=>2,
 :sslcert=>nil,
 :sslkey=>nil,
 :verbose=>true
}
request = Typhoeus::Request.new(url, req_opts)
response = request.run

The response i'm getting is this:

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: https://some.server.com:443/
Date: Sat, 27 Apr 2019 02:25:05 GMT
Content-Length: 5
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Why is this happening?

Well it's hard to know because your example is not a reachable url. But 2 things I see is that you are not passing an ssl cert or key. But also 302 indicates a redirect. You can try to follow redirection but your first problem is probably you don't need to set SSL options, why are you?

See if you try the following options:

req_opts = {
 :method => :get,
  :headers => {
    "Content-Type"=>"application/json",
    "Accept"=>"application/json"
   },
    :params=>{},
    :params_encoding=>nil,
    :timeout=>0,
    :followlocation => true,
    :ssl_verifypeer=>false,
    :ssl_verifyhost=>0,
    :verbose=>true
  }
