I could log in to Google with this:

require 'net/https'

def auth user_email, passwd, account_type, service
  http = Net::HTTP.new("www.google.com", 443)
  http.use_ssl = true

  path    = "/accounts/ClientLogin"
  data    = 
"accountType=#{account_type}&Email=#{user_email}&Passwd=#{passwd}&service=#{service}"
 

 headers = {'Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}

  resp, data = http.post(path, data, headers)

  puts resp.code
  puts resp.body

  cl_string = data[/Auth=(.*)/,1]
  headers["Authorization"] = "GoogleLogin auth=#{cl_string}"

end

auth "email", "pass", "GOOGLE", "grandcentral"
