Too many open files - socket(2) with net/http - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have a problem with http requests with net/http...
I writing a ruby script that interacts with the dailymotion api.
This script will upload a video "test.flv".
Basically it consists of four requests.
It works perfectly until step "#Create the video object".
The following error is raised on the last
"response = http.request(req)" command ->
Errno::EMFILE: Too many open files - socket(2)
Here is the code, thx for any advice...
require 'net/http'
require 'curb'
require 'json'
# Authenticate the user
url = URI.parse( 'https://api.dailymotion.com/oauth/token' )
req = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url.path)
req.set_form_data({ 'grant_type' => 'password',
'client_id' => 'my_client_id',
'client_secret' => 'my_client_secret',
'username' => 'myusername',
'password' => 'mypassword'
})
http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
response = http.request(req)
access_token = JSON.parse( response.body )['access_token']
access_url = 'https://api.dailymotion.com/file/upload?access_token=' + access_token
# Get an upload URL
url = URI.parse( access_url )
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new( url.request_uri )
http = Net::HTTP.new( url.host, url.port )
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
response = http.request( req )
upload_url = JSON.parse( response.body )['upload_url']
progress_url = JSON.parse( response.body )['progress_url']
# Post the video
fields_hash = {}
post_data = fields_hash.map { |k, v| Curl::PostField.content(k, v.to_s) }
post_data << Curl::PostField.file('file', 'C:/test.flv')
c = Curl::Easy.new(upload_url)
c.multipart_form_post = true
c.http_post(post_data)
file_url = JSON.parse( c.body_str )['url']
# Create the video object
url = URI.parse( 'https://api.dailymotion.com/me/videos' )
req = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url.path)
req.set_form_data({ 'url' => file_url,
'access_token' => access_token
})
http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
response = http.request(req)
puts response.body

Try calling finish
http.finish
after the response = http.request( req ).
