Hii all , mongrel1.1.2 ruby 1.8.6 apche 2.2.16 i am running Apche frontend to mongrel and trying to upload some large file(from rails application) to filesystem.Few things i observed. 1 - The uploaded data is stored in a file “mongrel.4124.0” 2 - the mongrel file is copied to a CGI.4124.0 file (I suppose this is the regular Ruby tempfile) 3 - the tempfile is copied to the right location where we mention in code. I would like which file in mongrel is responsible for generating mongrel.4124.0 and hows it is garbase collected after upload??
