I have an app that does a similar thing, posts files to the internet. does the youtube-g gem handle the HTTP post for you (if so I'd like to know)? I ask because shoes' 'download' method (which can do posts) is broken on OSX raisins (setting headers doesnt work), but works on Windows. You can use net::http (if you handle the GUI threading yourself) but that only works on OSX (domain names dont resolve on windows).
you cannot use Mechanize because importing Mechanize causes SSL errors. ... and the ask_open_file method is broken on OSX raisins, it returns a nill object. Since there's no copy paste functionality, your users wont be able to copy paste a local file path into your app... they'll have to type it in manually. I dont mean to be negative :) .... its just that this is exactly what I am doing and I can tell you all the issues you will come across. If the youtube-g gem handles the HTTP post for you, you might be OK. otherwise, sit tight (but hopefully not too tight) ... I have logged all these bugs and, fingers crossed, _why will get to them soon. my advice to you, if you want cross-platform compatibility, is to package your app and test on all platforms regularly.
