Hello,

Is there any feature in webrick using which we can upload our files  
directly. I am talking about the files which are submitted using  
 tag.

Thanks

Try using cgi lib, [http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/cgi/rdoc/index.html](http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/cgi/rdoc/index.html)

Get multipart form values

require “cgi”  
cgi = CGI.new  
value = cgi[‘field\_name’] # \<== value string for ‘field\_name’  
value.read # \<== body of value  
value.local\_path # \<== path to local file of value  
value.original\_filename # \<== original filename of value  
value.content\_type # \<== content\_type of value

and value has StringIO or Tempfile class methods.

Now you have to figure out how to connect those two 😉
