I am experiencing a very painful problem. When I upload a file to my  
rails app which uses paperclip, using Safari, the upload fails with a  
“the server unexpectedly dropped the connection” error. Using FF it  
works perfectly well.

What’s going on? Am I the only seeing that weird behavior? How to solve  
it?

THanks in advance

Thanks Peter, but the link is a year old, and rack should have been  
corrected since. Did the problem come back? Is it another bug in Ruby?

I run: ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72)
