HACK: this fixes an openssl issue

For some reason within the LARA rails environment 
OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER is not defined.
In irb on the server, without rails, this constant is defined.
This commit fixes this problem, but it would be best to figure out
what code is un-setting it and why.

Only disable VERIFY_PEER on development, remove HACK

This commit fixes the HACK commit just previous.
The code disables VERIFY_PEER in development mode, but it was also messing
up production by un-defining the VERIFY_PEER constant in all environments
