I can submit a zip file using a form to an ROR application. But I  
need to be able to do this with a program so I am planning on using  
Net::HTTP. I am debugging it on a PC using Webrick. I create a  
multipart file (shown below). I use the following command to send the  
file.

response = Net::HTTP.start(“localhost”, 3000).post("/upload/upload",  
query, “Content-type” =\> “multipart/form-data; boundary=” + boundary +  
" " )

There is a controller called app/controllers/upload\_controller.rb.  
There is method in the controller called upload.

For some reason the server cannot find /upload/upload. Here is a  
truncated error log. I have tried everything I know to try. Any  
ideas on this.
