You'll need to use JavaScript for this. Ruby doesn't run in the browser, and drag events aren't sent to the server every. Click events only get sent to the server if they are on a link. With JavaScript, you can attach listener functions to almost any interaction gesture you like. These functions can in turn trigger HTTP requests or other DOM events or behavior.

You can drag and drop a desktop element into a browser, and after setting up the appropriate JavaScript in that browser, you can detect the drop on a particular element and do something with that dropped file. Look at the Flickr photo uploader for inspiration there. This is definitely not a Ruby thing at all, it's pure JavaScript / Browser tech.

Are you trying to make a Rails web application, or a Mac desktop
application? If the latter, you have the wrong list. Try the ruby-talk
list instead.
