multipart-post

• http://github.com/nicksieger/multipart-post

DESCRIPTION:

Adds a streamy multipart form post capability to Net::HTTP. Also supports other methods besides POST.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

• Appears to actually work. A good feature to have.
• Encapsulates posting of file/binary parts and name/value parameter parts, similar to most browsers' file upload forms.
• Provides an UploadIO helper class to prepare IO objects for inclusion in the params hash of the multipart post object.

SYNOPSIS:

require 'net/http/post/multipart'

url = URI.parse('http://www.example.com/upload')
File.open("./image.jpg") do |jpg|
  req = Net::HTTP::Post::Multipart.new url.path,
    "file" => UploadIO.new(jpg, "image/jpeg", "image.jpg")
  res = Net::HTTP.start(url.host, url.port) do |http|
    http.request(req)
  end
end

To post multiple files or attachments, simply include multiple parameters with UploadIO values:

require 'net/http/post/multipart'

url = URI.parse('http://www.example.com/upload')
req = Net::HTTP::Post::Multipart.new url.path,
  "file1" => UploadIO.new(File.new("./image.jpg"), "image/jpeg", "image.jpg"),
  "file2" => UploadIO.new(File.new("./image2.jpg"), "image/jpeg", "image2.jpg")
res = Net::HTTP.start(url.host, url.port) do |http|
  http.request(req)
end

REQUIREMENTS:

None
