SSLv3 Alert Handshake Failure

[Eric Berry]

Last week, I believe Twitter updated their API to prevent SSLv3 connections. I am now unable to connect to twitter using this gem. Here's my code and response:

```

require 'twitter'

client = Twitter::REST::Client.new do |config|

  config.consumer_key        = ENV["INST_LTI_TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY"]

  config.consumer_secret     = ENV["INST_LTI_TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET"]

  config.access_token        = ENV["INST_LTI_TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN"]

  config.access_token_secret = ENV["INST_LTI_TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET"]

end

tweets = client.user_timeline("coderberry", count: 25, result_type: "recent")

Twitter::Error: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server hello A: sslv3 alert handshake failure

```

Has anyone had this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW.. this is using gem version 5.11.0

I think I've had something similar: https://github.com/sferik/twitter/issues/666. I ended up adding `OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE` switch in /initializers
