[ruby-talk:19664] No more temp files for each non_empty_file_field in multipart/form-dad forms

I'm working with ruby recently and want adopt it as my favority
development language and using the cgi module I've noted that when it
process a "multipart/form-data" it creates a tmp file for each of the
form fields and in my system (suse linux 7.1 apache 1.3.20 mod_ruby)
the temp files remain after template processing, and in "cgi/session"
the files used for the session aren't unlocked and I've got some
headaches with that (frozen browser requests), I did some work on that
modules and create a patch against it.
 
with this modifications only if a file is sent it stores a tmp file
object in the cgi.params if not it stores a string, so no more need to
use cgi['some_non_empty_file_field'][0].read.
