I did a spike in my sandbox to make sure I understood how to do file uploads
using CGI and there seems to be a problem with Mongrel. WEBrick
doesn''t display the problem, but I can reproduce it everytime with
Mongrel. I''d really appreciate it if someone would try out the code
below and see if they see the same thing.
The browser behavior is:
- under IE6, a Page Not Found error
- under Firefox, a blank white page
The display in the command window is not browser-dependent. The error listing
starts with "Error calling Dispatcher.dispatch #<TypeError: superclass
mismatch for class Tempfile>". I''ve included the entire error
listing below.
The controller and view code is given below.
The CGI file upload delivers either an IOString or a Tempfile, depending on the
size of the file being uploaded. I''m using a 3K file to test IOString,
and a 10K file to test Tempfile. Both are XML text files.
The scenerio that produces the error is:
1) mongrel_rails start
2) launch brower and nav to http://localhost:3000/create
3) upload small file
4) upload large file
If I upload in reverse, first the large file and then the small file,
everything''s fine.
If I upload the small file and then the large file, Mongrel sends my browser off
into the weeds and shows me the following in the command window.

Here''s my code.
------------ create_controller.rb --------------

"#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/sandbox1.xml")
@location_display = "Copied the Tempfile to sandbox1.xml"
else
File.open("#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/sandbox2.xml","w"){|f|
f.write(params[:file_to_upload].read)
f.close}
@location_display = "Saved the IOString to sandbox2.xml"
end
end
end
------------ index.rhtml ------------

I''m running Windows XP. I seem to be having a "blond moment"
and can''t remember how to check Rails / Ruby versions but am using
InstantRails 1.3.
Thanks in advance to anyone who''ll make the time to verify (or not) the
problem I''m seeing.
Best regards,
Bill
