Reading http request as IO in rails

Hi, Here's what i'm trying to do my mobile phone app ( j2me) tries to connect to the my rails application. the j2me app opens a java.io.OutputStream here's the snippet           hc = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(UPDATE_URL, Connector.READ_WRITE);           hc.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);           hc.setRequestProperty("If-Modified-Since", "29 Oct 1999 19:43:31 GMT");           hc.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.2");           hc.setRequestProperty("Content-Language", "en-US");           out = hc.openOutputStream();

j2me app then just writes data to the output stream(pretty basic here). so far so good. not a problem here. And on my rails controller i do the following,

class MainController < ApplicationController   def read_data     url = request.env["REQUEST_URI"]     method = request.env["REQUEST_METHOD"]     data = request.env["RAW_POST_DATA"]

    newf = File.open("MY_DATA", "wb")     str = request.body.read     newf.write(str)     newf.close     render :text => "Hello Load #{url}"   end end

the problem is the same j2me app works(only changes the url) if i have a servlet receiving the data, i do request.getInputStream on a servlet and everything works. But on rails i get ioexception under j2me app saying couldn't write to socket.

Also is request.body.read the correct way to do it. ? Is this possible in rails or am i making the wrong assumptions here ? what am i doing wrong, or rather how is it done.

I appreciate any insights that you may have. mb

Anybody, any pointers.
