Hi,

      I need to provide functionality to upload files to [blip.tv](http://blip.tv) which means programmatically posting multi-part form to blip, is it possible to do so in ruby (Net::HTTP only provides simple form posting).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use the option :multipart => true in your form_tag or form_for helper invocation.

Hi Rick,

       sorry I didn't clearly state what I meant, actually I need to programmatically upload files to a site (i.e. similar functionality like Net::HTTP:get).

      [http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToSendAFileByPostMultipart](http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToSendAFileByPostMultipart) this post is quite helpful, let me know if you know any other resources.
