Re: file uploading

Hi,

I must have being doing something wrong in context, because I just tried
the little snippet I pasted, and it seems to be doing more things right.

However, with this code, I get:

[Fri Jan 23 09:23:19 2004] [error] mod_ruby: error in ruby
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/cgi.rb:1039:in `read_multipart': undefined method

full code:

<% require 'cgi'; @cgi = CGI.new  %>

<% p @cgi.params['drop'].first %>
<form method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
Drop Location: <input type=file name=drop>
<input type=submit name=submit> 
</form>
