I found this one and worked out perfect for me.


BOUNDARY = "AaB03x"

def encode_multipartformdata(parameters = {})
  ret = String.new
  parameters.each do |key, value|
    unless value.empty?
      ret << "\r\n--" << BOUNDARY << "\r\n"
      ret << "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"#{key}\"\r\n\r\n"
      ret << value
    end
  end
  ret << "\r\n--" << BOUNDARY << "--\r\n"
end

published here ! Good Luck if you're having this problem I hope this one works for you!

Try and adjust apache security settings for the app, put this in your vhost config:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
  SecFilterEngine Off
  SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

Sometimes this processes the parts of files in the /tmp and prevents the upload from being finished.
