Hello all, I am fairly new to Ruby and I am loving every minute of it.  I'v=
e
been doing a lot of reading on Ruby and I really like what I've seen thus
far.  I am in the process of converting some Perl WWW::Mechanize code to
Ruby's WWW::Mechanize.  Everything was going smooth until the portion where
I have to upload a file to the website.

Accessing page.forms[0].file_uploads[0] returns the
#<WWW::FileUpload:0x21614ec @file_data=3Dnil, @file_name=3D"Browse",
@name=3D"txtUploadFile"> object.  However, I cannot determine how to set th=
e
path to the file that I wish to upload (the value of the textbox).

I've tried setting @file_data and @file_name to
'/Users/michaelguterl/test.txt' through the appropriate accessor method.
But each time I try and submit the form the website throws a nasty ASP
error.  I know it is possible to do what I am trying to accomplish using
this approach.  I'm just a little lost on the Ruby implementation of
WWW::Mechanize and trying to find anything on google is nearly impossible
with all the Perl stuff out there.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael Guterl
