Please show us your controller code, and the code around where the  
EBADF exception was raised.

As a wild guess, it sounds like you’re trying to pass request.raw\_post  
directly into Paperclip, while Paperclip is expecting to get a TmpFile  
or StringIO object (as it would it you just passed the parameter  
containing the file).
