Ruby to Gallery2 remote API

Hello all,

I am a total noob at ruby and not a programmer by trade.

Gallery2 is an image hosting script made in php which has an API as
defined at : http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery_Remote:Protocol

What I want to accomplish is to be able to upload images to my Gallery2
from the ruby script. The upload feature is just a small function of the
script.

the add-item is defined at
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery_Remote:Protocol#add-item

What would be the best way to go about it?
What functions to look at?

There is an existing ruby script which can do most of the stuff, its a
little confusing but im able to use its classes to get properties, album
details, etc, but it doesnt have “add-item”

The ruby script is available at http://www.mvmanila.com/PhotoMv/chkg2.rb

Any pointers what would i need to do to upload images?

The perl script at

allows uploading images, in fact currently im calling it from ruby using
the system command, but i need to customise some fields and the perl
code is unreadable :stuck_out_tongue:

Would appereciate any help.

Thanks in Advance.
