've been attempting to work on a script that would synch my iCal  
calendar with my google calendar. Just in an attempt to get the hang of  
the api, I’m trying to generate an event and then add it. I’ve got the  
xml generated just fine, but when I try to authenticate myself with  
google. I get an error. Does anyone have any ideas?

Google C. “Add Event”:  
[http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/calendar.html#add\_event](http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/calendar.html#add_event)

My code:  
res =  
Net::HTTP.post\_form(URI.parse(“[https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin](https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin)”),

```
                      {'Email' => "myemail", 'Passwd' =>

```

“mypassword”,  
‘source’ =\>  
“blissdevelopment-calendarSync-1”, ‘service’ =\> “c1”})

puts res.body

And then the error:  
/opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:133:in `sysread': Connection reset by peer (Errno::ECONNRESET) from /opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:133:in `rbuf\_fill’
