I’ve been slugging through Google posts on why attachment\_fu doesn’t  
want to upload the entire image file to S3 on a Windows XP machine and  
fine no conclusions as to what I should do?  
Here is a link with many suggestions. I’ve tried all of them and none  
work for me. [http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/99870](http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/99870)  
I try .png, .jpeg and .gif and they all simply put a ghost file up on  
S3 without any content.  
Does anyone out there have Rmagick, attachment\_fu running on a Windows  
XP machine and using Amazon’s S3? Would you mind sharing what changes  
you made to attachment\_fu to make the photos upload correctly?  
S3 gets a VERY few bytes such as 25 bytes for a 370k graphic file.  
When I show the graphic all I see is a ‘placeholder’ where the :thumb  
or public\_filename should go.  
Any help is greatly appreciated.
