Rails - May 2005 - Disabling logging for web service calls?

I''m using ActionWebService to allow users to upload files to my rails 
app. I do this by encoding to Base64. The problem with this is that 
rails logs the file data so my log file size spirals out of control. Is 
there any way to selectively disable logging when the web api is 
invoked? ActiveRecord::Base.silence doesn''t seem too useful here as
it''s
only called AFTER the api is invoked.

Hi,

Have you tried disabling logging in #before_invocation and re-enabling
in #after_invocation? The #before_invocation/#after_invocation calls
accept parameters, so you can limit it to the methods you want.
