Subject: Bad file descriptor error

Hello everyone,
I'm new to ruby.I'm trying to write an application that would
synchronise with google calendar.Below is a script I'm trying to use for
authentication with google.When I try to run it I'm getting a bad file
descriptor error.I have also provided the error message just after the
script.Any help will be appriciated.Thank you in advance.

def authentication(email,passwd,service)
    require 'net/https'
    http = Net::HTTP.new('www.google.com', 443)
    http.use_ssl = true
    path = '/accounts/ClientLogin'


   # Now we are passing in our actual authentication data.
    data = 'accountType=HOSTED_OR_GOOGLE&Email=email &Passwd=passwd
&service=service'

  # Set up a hash for the headers
  headers = { 'Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}

  # Post the request and print out the response to retrieve our
authentication token
   resp, data = http.post(path, data, headers)

  # Strip out our actual token (Auth) and store it
  cl_string = data[/Auth=(.*)/, 1]

  # Build our headers hash and add the authorization token
  headers["Authorization"] = "GoogleLogin auth=#{cl_string}"
end



#After calling this function like this:
authentication("my_add@gmail.com","passwd","cl")

#I get the follow error message:
