Example request:

client.request_gdsp( ["MSFT"], ["IQ_COMPANY_NAME"] )

response is:

#<CapitalIQ::RequestResult Headers=["IQ_COMPANY_NAME"], Rows=[{"Row"=>["Microsoft Corporation"]}], NumCols=1, Seniority="", Mnemonic="IQ_COMPANY_NAME", Function="GDSP", ErrMsg="", StartDate="", NumRows=1, CacheExpiryTime="0", SnapType="", Frequency="", Identifier="MSFT", Limit="">

which is identified as an Error by the gem because ErrMsg is not nil

I started to get this error today so this may be new CapIQ behavior

cf. Capital IQ's email: << For security purposes, we have upgraded our S&P Capital IQ API platforms to require TLS (TLSv1) security protocol for access. As of February 6th, 2016 you will no longer be able to connect to any of our S&P Capital IQ API platform services using the older less secure SSL (SSLv3) security protocol. >>

Looks like your gem is using SSLv3. cf.

response_data = from_cache(request_body) || self.class.post(
          ENDPOINT, body: request_body, basic_auth: @auth, ssl_version: :SSLv3
      ).parsed_response

but there may be other places too.
