I’ve put :multipart =\> true in a form, added a file\_field\_tag, selected  
a file and then sent the page… The result is a “nice” 500 error page,  
is it normal?

i’ve tried with a simple controlles such as  
def create  
obj = Model.new(params[:obj])  
if obj.save  
redirect…  
else  
render :new  
end  
end

and the view:

form\_for :obj, :url =\> model\_url, :html =\> {:multipart =\> true} do  
|form| -%\>  
file\_field\_tag :something  
submit\_tag ‘send’

The code id similar to this (i’ve not it here now ☹ but i’ve tried with  
something like this)
