I'm having issues attempting to upload a file to a web service using Faraday.
My code:
conn = Faraday.new('http://myapi') do |f|
f.request :multipart
end
payload = { :file => Faraday::UploadIO.new('...', 'image/jpeg') }
conn.post('/', payload)
Nothing seems to happen after attempting the post. When I inspect the response this is what I'm seeing:

The body is being set to a CompositeReadIO object and it seems to never be sending out a request.
Answer
It turns out that I needed to specify an adapter. Here's the code that ended up working.
conn = Faraday.new('http://myapi') do |f|
f.request :multipart
f.request :url_encoded
f.adapter :net_http # This is what ended up making it work
end
payload = { :file => Faraday::UploadIO.new('...', 'image/jpeg') }
conn.post('/', payload)
