Answer 1

RestClient API seems to have changed. Here's the latest way to upload a file using basic auth:

response = RestClient::Request.execute(
  method: :post,
  url: url,
  user: 'username',
  password: 'password',
  timeout: 600, # Optional
  payload: {
    multipart: true,
    file: File.new('/path/to/file, 'rb')
  }
)
