Hi, I''ve been using ActiveResource for my application and I have noticed that I cannot post a file using "create". I tried passing Base64 encoded data, but this takes a very long time for larger files (20+ seconds for a 5 meg file). I decided I would try using Net:HTTP to do the multipart post manually, which works except for the authenticity token and some of the authentication. It also seemed like I was writing a heck of a lot of code that should be part of ActiveResource. So my question to all of you is what am I missing? Is there a method I am unaware of? Is there a reason that AR does not include this functionality? I hope I can find a simple way to do this multipart post. If I can''t, I''d like to work with you guys to create the support for this functionality.

Hey Nick, Even I had this requirement of uploading files using some sort of API, but couldn''t really leverage Active Resource. what I used is described here http://rubymerchant.blogspot.com/2008/07/submit-multipart-form-programmatically.html. I am happy to help you include submitting multipart form data as part of ActiveResource, Thanks Jatinder On Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 12:52 PM, Nick Gauthier <ngauthier@gmail.com> wrote:> > Hi, > > I''ve been using ActiveResource for my application and I have noticed > that I cannot post a file using "create".

Thanks Jatinder, That worked great, although I had to handle my authentication differently. Thanks again for your help. -Nick On Jul 7, 5:01 pm, "Jatinder Singh" <jatinder.sau...@gmail.com> wrote:> Hey Nick, > > Even I had this requirement of uploading files using some sort of API, > but couldn''t really leverage Active Resource. what I used is described > herehttp://rubymerchant.blogspot.com/2008/07/submit-multipart-form-progra.... > > I am happy to help you include submitting multipart form data as part > of ActiveResource, > > Thanks > Jatinder > > On Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 12:52 PM, Nick Gauthier <ngauth...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > I''ve been using ActiveResource for my application and I have noticed > > that I cannot post a file using "create".
