I posted in the Ruby forum by mistake ☹ This is actually in Rails.

I’m looking for a Ruby equivalent of Java’s Jakarta HTTP FilePart.

I basically need to send out a post request that contains an uploaded  
file to a REST API.

Now the client code that they normally use is Jakarta. Whose  
definition of a multipart post containing a file is here:  
[http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/methods/multipartpost.html](http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/methods/multipartpost.html)

I need help to do this in Ruby. Anyone has nay thoughts on this?
