file upload example

[Kai]

Hi,
can someone provide a file upload example?

def self.upload_photo()
path = File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'test/fixtures/photos/p1.jpg')
file = File.open(path)
result = post('/photos', :body => {:format=>'json', :photo =>
{:data => file})
file.close
return result
end

this doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,
Kai

Pretty sure httparty doesn't support files.

Like Jon said, HTTParty doesn't support files. You'll have to read the
file as a string first. Try something like this:

def self.upload_photo()
path = File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'test/fixtures/photos/p1.jpg')

file = File.read( path )

post('/photos', :body => {:format=>'json', :photo => {:data =>
file})

end
