Instance Method Details

#post_multipart(parameters = {}, headers = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Makes a multipart/form-data encoded POST request to this URI. This is a convenience API that mimics a multipart form being posted; some allegedly RESTful APIs like FCBK require this for file uploads.

File.open('/path/to/image.jpg') do |file|
  'http://localhost:3000/uploads'.to_uri.post_multipart('file' => UploadIO.new(file, "image/jpg", '/path/to/image.jpg'))
end

def post_multipart(parameters = {}, headers = {}, &block)
  Http::PostMultipart.new(self, parameters, headers, block ? @options.merge(:callback_block => block) : @options).invoke
end

#post_multipart_async(parameters = {}, headers = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Makes a multipart/form-data encoded POST request to this URI. This is a convenience API that mimics a multipart form being posted; some allegedly RESTful APIs like FCBK require this for file uploads.

File.open('/path/to/image.jpg') do |file|
  'http://localhost:3000/uploads'.to_uri.post_multipart_async('file' => UploadIO.new(file, "image/jpg", '/path/to/image.jpg'))
end

Note: post_multipart_async does not return a response and the response should be accessed through callbacks. This implementation of asynchronous post_multipart is currently in alpha. Hence, it should not be used in production.

#put_multipart(parameters = {}, headers = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Makes a multipart/form-data encoded PUT request to this URI. This is a convenience API that mimics a multipart form being put. I sincerely hope you never need to use this.
