That's merely because of the filesize of the data you are sending. Everything below 16KB will be seen as StringIO, above it will be a TempFile. Attachment_fu has everything in place to handle it. Look at line 303 at http://github.com/technoweenie/attachment_fu/blob/743a95be0f01696530f558e7f4934cc7e57d3ab8/lib/technoweenie/attachment_fu.rb > I have googled and found numerous solutions for similar cases: getting > the content_type of data uploaded from flash (generally via swfobject) > and adjusting for when the content-type is application/octet-stream. > But, these don't work in my case -- I'm guessing that all those cases > are for actually uploading files rather than transporting binary > data. Attachment_fu combined with mimetype_fu work perfectly for me with any data sent from Flash. Flash has no way to pass in the appropriate content type (simply said: it's always application/octet-stream), but I can see in your controller that you have a filename available (xxxx.jpg). This should be enough for mimetype_fu to determine the content-type as "image/jpeg".
