Hi all,
I’m using rest-client (in a Shoooes app) to post a multi-part form to
my rails server. I’ve been struck down by a gotcha (which may not be a
gotcha for non-newbies).
What I want to do is post an image file within the form. Examples show
that the correct syntax is such:
params = {'myObject[name]' => "some name",
'myObject[details]' => "some extra
details and stuff here.",
:myObject[image] =>
File.new(‘/baa/baa/screen-capture-1.png’)
}
response = RestClient.post
“http://me:[email protected]/myObject.xml”, params
but :myObject[image] is not a valid symbol … and that’s how rails
creates the names of the fields in the forms …
Any ideas?

Your two first parameters have strings as keys, not symbols.

yeah, but that seems to work fine …
I worked out I can do :“myObject[image]” =>
File.new(‘/baa/baa/screen-capture-1.png’) but that still doesn’t …
it creates the below message in Rails:
UploadColumn::UploadNotMultipartError (Do not know how to handle a
string with value ‘(File /baa/baa/screen-capture-1.png)’ that was
uploaded. Check if the form’s encoding has been set to
‘multipart/form-data’.):

Perhaps you want to stick the contents of that file in the
“myObject[image]” param? If so File.new is not going to do it.
Try File.read(‘/baa/baa/screen-capture-1.png’)
