Straggling "Unable to verify certificate" Heroku on Windows 8.1 error

Question

I have Ruby 1.9.3 installed on Windows 8.1

As far as I can tell the following issue remains and has been as ongoing frustration for many Windows people periodically throughout the years leading to all sorts of different synopsizes and solutions. It's just that none of them worked for me.

After installing the Heroku Toolbelt with Ruby 1.9.2 inside it I get the following error when trying to login.

You know I have pretty much given up hope with Heroku on Windows 8. Unfortunately, it's a real sticky point that keeps me using other hosts while I would otherwise like heroku for rails stuff. — Mitchell, Mar 11 '14 at 19:25
