Update OpenSSL on OS X with Homebrew

Question

I\'m using MacOS X 10.7.5 and I need a newer OpenSSL version due to handshake failures. There are several tutorials on the internet and I tried the following:

Answer 1

installed openssl on mac with brew but nothing found on /usr/local/bin where other brew installed bins are located. Found my fresh openssl here:

/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin/openssl

Run it like this:

/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin/openssl version

I don't want to update OS X openssl, while some OS stuff or other 3rd party apps may have dependency on older version.

I also don't mind longer path than just openssl

Writing this here for all the Googlers who are looking for location of openssl installed by brew.
