A while ago I wrote a plugin to limit uploads in Mongrel. Mongrel does save uploads to a tempfile on disk - if the upload is bigger than about 12 KB - using a Ruby TempFile-object. (which stores in the $TMPDIR, /tmp on most systems).
The request is handed over to Rails after it's fully received by Mongrel. I'm not sure if this "saving to disk" works the same with chunked uploads (uploads without a Content-Length header). Maybe my plugin can help you: http://slasaus.netsend.nl/articles/show/7 (warning: it works, but is not very elegant).

In particular, I want to upload large files to the RailsDav (http://www.liverail.net/railsdav) plugin, without having to store the entire file in memory during the operation. This seems to be a Mongrel problem, so I started looking at this plugin: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/upload_progress.html How do I get Mongrel to store the incoming POST data in a tempfile, passing a handler to that file as the raw_post field in the Rails request? Is it even possible? How is the "request" parameter to the process() method related to the "request" object in the Rails controllers? /Daniel _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users ____________________________________________________________________________________ Shape Yahoo! in your own image.
