Converting binary IOstream into file

Question

I am using rails server. i am sending core http request. in request.body contents a file which I want to be uploaded. This request.body is StringIo object. I want to upload this file to my server.

Can you please elaborate? If you have some code you've written that you are trying to get to work, we'd sure like to see it. — Wayne Conrad

This writes the file to disk in 1mb (1024**2) chunks. Reading the whole file in at once can leave you open to a DOS with huge files.

File.open("where-you-want-the-file", "w") do |f|
  while blk = request.body.read(1024**2)
    f << blk
  end
end
