        What problems did you run into? It is literally a few lines of code  
to handle an upload. You just upload to an action, and in that action  
you will get a certain hash in the params that is like this:

             {:filename => File.basename(filename),
             :content_type => content_type,
             :tempfile => body,
             :size => File.size(body.path)}

So you get the filename, the content type, :tempfile is the actual  
file on disk and :size is the size of the file. Do whatever you want  
with it from there.
