SSL error on Windows XP

I am getting a SSL error in rubymine when I try to debug one of my scripts:
"SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed"

Script runs fine outside of Rubymine

I had faced a similar issue with another gem and I resolved it by setting an environment variable :

set SSL_CERT_FILE=C:\mylocation\cacert.pem

Thanks,
