  io.instance_eval("    def content_type\n      \"\#{content_type}\"\n    end\n    def original_filename\n      \"\#{original_filename}\"\n    end\n    def local_path\n      \"\#{local_path}\"\n    end\n  EOS\n  io\nend\n", __FILE__, __LINE__)

.new(filename_or_io, content_type, filename = nil) ⇒ Object

Create an upload IO suitable for including in the params hash of a Net::HTTP::Post::Multipart.

Can take two forms. The first accepts a filename and content type, and opens the file for reading (to be closed by finalizer). The second accepts an already-open IO, but also requires a third argument, the filename from which it was opened.

UploadIO.new("file.txt", "text/plain")
UploadIO.new(file_io, "text/plain", "file.txt")
