Rails 3 get raw post data and write it to tmp file
- by Andrew
I'm working on implementing Ajax-Upload for uploading photos in my Rails 3 app. The documentation says:
For IE6-8, Opera, older versions of other browsers you get the file as you
normally do with regular form-base
uploads.
For browsers which upload file with progress bar, you will need to get the
raw post data and write it to the
file.
So, how can I receive the raw post data in my controller and write it to a tmp file so my controller can then process it? (In my case the controller is doing some image manipulation and saving to S3.)
Some additional info:
As I'm configured right now the post is passing these parameters:
Parameters:
{"authenticity_token"=>"...", "qqfile"=>"IMG_0064.jpg"}
... and the CREATE action looks like this:
def create
@attachment = Attachment.new
@attachment.user = current_user
@attachment.file = params[:qqfile]
if @attachment.save!
respond_to do |format|
format.js { render :text => '{"success":true}' }
end
end
end
... but I get this error:
ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid (Validation failed: File file name must be set.):
app/controllers/attachments_controller.rb:7:in `create'
