Can't upload photos to S3 with Fog in Rails : !! #<Excon::Errors::SocketError: Bad address>

Question

I was able to upload files in the past but for last day I have not been able to upload files to my S3

When I try to upload a file from the console like

Document.create(remote_file_url: 'http://www.pdf995.com/samples/pdf.pdf')

I get

Document.create(remote_file_url: 'http://www.pdf995.com/samples/pdf.pdf')

   (0.1ms)  BEGIN

  SQL (0.7ms)  INSERT INTO "documents" ("created_at", "file", "updated_at") VALUES ($1, $2, $3) RETURNING "id"  [["created_at", Thu, 12 Feb 2015 22:33:59 EST -05:00], ["file", "pdf.pdf"], ["updated_at", Thu, 12 Feb 2015 22:33:59 EST -05:00]]

Version downgrade of OpenSSL on OS X did it for me.

brew switch openssl 1.0.1l
