POSTing Blank XML File Raises

#2689

Using Rails 2.3.2:

$ rails test $ cd test $ script/generate controller posts create $ nano config/routes.rb # add posts resources $ nano app/controllers/posts_controller.rb # add respond_to with format.xml $ script/console

With curl:
$ touch post.xml $ curl -H 'Accept: application/xml' -H 'Content-Type: application/xml' -F upload=@post.xml http://localhost:3000/posts

This returns the default 500 error page.

The log says:

Status: 500 Internal Server Error You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! The error occurred while evaluating nil.name
