 I think the same error is also in the docs for previous version of the Ruby

The entry in the OpenSSL docs for Loading a key has an error in it I believ=
e.=20

  http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.1.2/libdoc/openssl/rdoc/OpenSSL.html#module-=
OpenSSL-label-Loading+a+Key

This is the entry:

> Loading a Key=C2=B6 =E2=86=91
>=20
> A key can also be loaded from a file.
>=20
~~~
> key2 =3D OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new File.read 'private_key.pem'
> key2.public? # =3D> true
~~~
> or
>=20
~~~
> key3 =3D OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new File.read 'public_key.pem'
> key3.private? # =3D> false
~~~

I think it should key2.private? that is true, rather than key2.public? be:

> Loading a Key=C2=B6 =E2=86=91
>=20
> A key can also be loaded from a file.
>=20
~~~
> key2 =3D OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new File.read 'private_key.pem'
> key2.private? # =3D> true
~~~
> or
>=20
~~~
> key3 =3D OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new File.read 'public_key.pem'
> key3.private? # =3D> false
~~~
