Re: how do i close a file that is open in ruby

Actully my problem starts from mongrel temp file that is not closed
after use and you cann't delete them without closing this is code where
mongrel developer forget to close the temporary file(i just think so)



module Mongrel
  #
  # When a handler is found for a registered URI then this class is 
constructed
  # and passed to your HttpHandler::process method.  You should assume 
that
  # *one* handler processes all requests.  Included in the HttpRequest 
is a
  # HttpRequest.params Hash that matches common CGI params, and a 
HttpRequest.body
  # which is a string containing the request body (raw for now).
  #
  # The HttpRequest.initialize method will convert any request that is 
larger than
  # Const::MAX_BODY into a Tempfile and use that as the body.  Otherwise 
it uses
  # a StringIO object.  To be safe, you should assume it works like a 
file.
  #
  # The HttpHandler.request_notify system is implemented by having 
HttpRequest call
  # HttpHandler.request_begins, HttpHandler.request_progress, 
HttpHandler.process during
  # the IO processing.  This adds a small amount of overhead but lets 
you implement
  # finer controlled handlers and filters.
  #
  class HttpRequest
    attr_reader :body, :params



    # You don't really call this.  It's made for you.
    # Main thing it does is hook up the params, and store any remaining
    # body data into the HttpRequest.body attribute.
    def initialize(params, socket, dispatchers)
      @params = params
      @socket = socket
      @dispatchers = dispatchers
      content_length = @params[Const::CONTENT_LENGTH].to_i
      remain = content_length - @params.http_body.length

      # tell all dispatchers the request has begun
      @dispatchers.each do |dispatcher|
        dispatcher.request_begins(@params)
      end unless @dispatchers.nil? || @dispatchers.empty?

      # Some clients (like FF1.0) report 0 for body and then send a 
body.  This will probably truncate them but at least the request goes 
through usually.
      if remain <= 0
        # we've got everything, pack it up
        @body = StringIO.new
        @body.write @params.http_body
        update_request_progress(0, content_length)
      elsif remain > 0
        # must read more data to complete body
        if remain > Const::MAX_BODY
          # huge body, put it in a tempfile

@body = Tempfile.new(Const::MONGREL_TMP_BASE)
          @body.binmode

        else
          # small body, just use that
          @body = StringIO.new
        end

        @body.write @params.http_body
        read_body(remain, content_length)



      end

      @body.rewind if @body


    end



    # updates all dispatchers about our progress
    def update_request_progress(clen, total)


  return if @dispatchers.nil? || @dispatchers.empty?
      @dispatchers.each do |dispatcher|
        dispatcher.request_progress(@params, clen, total)


      end
    end
    private :update_request_progress

    # Does the heavy lifting of properly reading the larger body 
requests in
    # small chunks.  It expects @body to be an IO object, @socket to be 
valid,
    # and will set @body = nil if the request fails.  It also expects 
any initial
    # part of the body that has been read to be in the @body already.
    def read_body(remain, total)
      begin
        # write the odd sized chunk first
        @params.http_body = read_socket(remain % Const::CHUNK_SIZE)

        remain -= @body.write(@params.http_body)

        update_request_progress(remain, total)

        # then stream out nothing but perfectly sized chunks
        until remain <= 0 or @socket.closed?
          # ASSUME: we are writing to a disk and these writes always 
write the requested amount
          @params.http_body = read_socket(Const::CHUNK_SIZE)
          remain -= @body.write(@params.http_body)

        STDERR.puts e.backtrace.join("\n")

file is dumped
        @socket.close rescue nil

  #@body.delete if @body.class == Tempfile

Did you see anywhere file being closed and could you give some tips to 
close this temp file @body.close
