Hey folks, I am trying to use net/http and net/https to implement a specific POST call for youtube's video upload service (am trying to use the direct upload API) and am looking to confirm that I am implementing the net/http library properly to do this. The full POST call is as follows (this comes from the youtube API):
POST /feeds/api/users/default/uploads HTTP/1.1
Host: uploads.gdata.youtube.com
Authorization: ClientLogin auth=my_auth_token_here
X-GData-Key: key=my_dev_id_here
Slug: videofilename.mpg
Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="f93dcbA3"
Content-Length: 1941255
Connection: close
--f93dcbA3
Content-Type: application/atom+xml; charset=UTF-8
<?xml version="1.0"?>

--f93dcbA3
Content-Type: video/mp4
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
full_video_file_binary_contents_here
--f93dcbA3--
Here is the code I am using to implement this, am hoping to make sure that I am using net/http correctly to pass all of the data where it needs to be.
dev_id = 'my_YT_dev_id_here'
upload_host = 'uploads.gdata.youtube.com'
upload_path = '/feeds/api/users/my_username_here/uploads'
youtube_direct_upload( upload_host, upload_path, dev_id, video )
def youtube_direct_upload( host, path, dev_id, token, video )
data = <<"DATA"
--f93dcbA3

--f93dcbA3

#{video}
--f93dcbA3--
DATA
http = Net::HTTP.new( host, 443 )
http.use_ssl = true
headers = {
'Host' => "#{host}",
'Authorization' => "GoogleLogin auth=#{token}",
'X-GData-Key' => "key=#{dev_id}",
'Slug' => 'videofile.mpg',
'Content-Type' => 'multipart/related; boundary="f93dcbA3"',
'Content-Length' => data.length.to_s,
'Connection' => 'close'
}
resp, data = http.post( path, data, headers )
puts 'Code: ' + resp.code
puts 'Data: '
puts data
end
I left out the code which rerieves the auth_token from the youtube server as I have tested that aspect and it works fine, only having trouble getting the above to work, when I try it I get this string of errors:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/openssl/buffering.rb:178:in `syswrite': Broken pipe (Errno::EPIPE)

I am hoping that I have simply implemented the net/http library incorrectly, but am not sure... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy
