file_fied_tag on safari

Hi I am using file_field_tag helper to upload the files. It is working fine on mozilla and ie but it really screwed me up in safari. When i see the log file, i found that its binary data is being passed, not the file hash.So an application error is thrown. Had anybody faced this issue before??

Thanks Arpit

I have no idea what Safari is doing but I just spent the better part of a day chasing it down when I realized Safari was causing a string to be delivered to the controller rather than a StringIO. Clear case of why I don't get all the gushing over Safari. It's a giant piece of [your word here]

Actually it's rails that decides to do that, based on the size of the file.
