When compiled with OpenSSL <= 1.1.1, OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext#setup does not raise an exception on an error return from SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(), but instead only prints a verbose-mode warning. This is not helpful since it very likely indicates an actual error, such as the specified file not being readable. Also, OpenSSL's error queue is not correctly cleared: $ ruby -w -ropenssl -e'OpenSSL.debug=true; ctx=OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext.new; ctx.ca_file="bad-path"; ctx.setup; pp OpenSSL.errors' -e:1: warning: can't set verify locations ["error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory", "error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file", "error:0B084002:x509 certificate routines:X509_load_cert_crl_file: system lib"] The behavior is currently different when compiled with OpenSSL >= 3.0: SSLError is raised if SSL_CTX_load_verify_file() or SSL_CTX_load_verify_dir() fails. This inconsistency was unintentionally introduced by commit 5375a55 ("ssl: use SSL_CTX_load_verify_{file,dir}() if available", 2020-02-22). However, raising SSLError seems more appropriate in this situation. Let's adjust the OpenSSL <= 1.1.1 code so that it behaves the same way as the OpenSSL >= 3.0 code currently does. Fixes: ruby#649
