Hi, I am working on a mobile app that sends a post with a file (a picture) "embedded" in the body of the request. It is not inside a parameter, it is inside of the body. A simplified example of a curl statement to simulate what the request does could be this:
curl -X POST my_path --data-binary my_file When the request gets to the controller the contents of the file can be retrieved like this: str = self.request.body.read I can run my tests running a server and outside of rspec and directing curl requests to localhost but that slows down the tests considerably. I need to reproduce what the curl statement does from within my tests and using only the server that rspec starts but I don't know how. Nothing that I have tried has worked and I am kind of running out of time. My latest idea (not fully explored yet) is to work with the request object itself before running the POST statement but I have not found a way to load the body with the binary contents of a file yet and I am not sure this will actually even work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
