SSL issues after Poodle?

Hi -
I'm experiencing errors using this gem suddenly - it was working well before. The errors appeared to start immediately after Heroku disabled SSLv3 support in the wake of Poodle vulnerability.

Is anyone able to use wkhtmltopdf-heroku successfully with SSL since Heroku made this update?
https://status.heroku.com/incidents/678
To clarify - building PDFs using templates sourced over HTTP still works, but HTTPS suddenly does not. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Following up my own question for posterity having resolved it.
Yes, the recent SSLv3 shutoff by Heroku rendered the binary presently included in this gem obsolete. This gem will not work post-POODLE as presently built. A binary of a more recent WKHTMLTOPDF build (www.wkhtmltopdf.org) will work, so my resolution was to fork and update the binary to fresher (currently 0.12.1) build of WKHTMLTOPDF.
I have forked the repo and pushed it as a new gem.
