OpenURI and not verifying self-signed certificates

Hi,

How can I tell open-uri to not verify the certificate when I'm using SSL?

Is there something nicer than hacking open-uri.rb?
    235 #http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER
    236 http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

Thanks.
Jon
