OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#cipher different than MRI

[jordansissel]

MRI's docs say OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#cipher (http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.3/libdoc/openssl/rdoc/OpenSSL/SSL/SSLSocket.html#method-i-cipher)

cipher => [name, version, bits, alg_bits]

Under MRI 2.1.4, this returns something like the docs say:
["ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256", "TLSv1/SSLv3", 128, 128]

Under JRuby 1.7.17, this returns a single string (not array w/ 4 elements): SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA

Interesting. I'm curious...are you using those other bits for something?

I think you should re-file this at jruby/jruby-openssl. We're trying to maintain it as a separate project.

Word, wasn't sure where to file - will move this.

For context, I was hoping to ask the socket what TLS version it had negotiated, assuming cipher included it, but it doesn't! Nothing to do here :)

OpenSSL::SSL::Session has the protocol negotiated.
