Hi list I have to admit that I feel this is a stupid question, but two days of Web search(1) and trials with WEBRick and CGI did not bring me any closer. Here is the problem: I am uploading files to my Webrick server via the standard HTTP method: <form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" name="data" /><input type="submit" /></form> the Webrick do_POST handler than has the multipart/form-data in his req.body. As astonishing as that sounds, I have not found a way to get the file's content out of this. I am sure there should be an easy way. BTW I have browsed the ML archives and there are some references to CGI but I just could not glue it together :( All help is appreciated.
