ruby-install --update gives failures when trying to download the versions files.

Description

ruby-install --update gives failures when trying to download the versions files. Those files are fine to access from a browser (example), so I'm not sure why it doesn't work. -D doesn't show anything different. Note that this worked fine relatively recently (I think sometime in early January I tried it to start getting Ruby 3.2 locally).

I removed the >/dev/null 2>&1 from https://github.com/postmodern/ruby-install/blob/49e73f6700d9bae339271510e1b43ac237b470bc/share/ruby-install/ruby-versions.sh#L50 and now I see:

>>> Downloading latest ruby versions ...

which looks like my wget somehow broke when my system updated (I recall that happening some time in the past week)

So, I did a brew reinstall wget, and now everything seems good!

So, that being said, I can close this, but I'm wondering if it would be helpful if when --debug is present that the download's >/dev/null 2>&1 be removed? That would have helped me solve this directly.

[postmodern]

@Fryguy I am going to guess this is some curl SSL CA bundle issue with homebrew? That's a great idea, the version file downloads should be properly exposed when debugging is enabled.

[postmodern]

@Fryguy OK I made the necessary changes in b2db3ce.

Thank you! I'll close this now.
