.convert!(io, content_type, original_filename, local_path) ⇒ Object

def self.convert!(io, content_type, original_filename, local_path)
  io.instance_eval(<<-EOS, __FILE__, __LINE__)
    def content_type
      "#{content_type}"
    end
    def original_filename
      "#{original_filename}"
    end
    def local_path
      "#{local_path}"
    end
  EOS
  io
end

.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")
