private method `split' called for #<Mime::Type:0x226f618>

Reported by ihunter | June 9th, 2009 @ 01:54 AM | in 2.x

Following error happens with Rack gem installed and vendored 2.3.2 rails:

/!\ FAILSAFE /!\ 06/08/2009 17:48 PM Status: 500 Internal Server Error private method split' called for #<Mime::Type:0x226f618>

/Users/ian/Projects/app/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/mime_type.rb:206:in `method_missing'
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/rack-1.0.0/lib/rack/request.rb:51:in `media_type'
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/rack-1.0.0/lib/rack/request.rb:117:in `parseable_data?'
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/rack-1.0.0/lib/rack/request.rb:138:in `POST'

Removing the Rack gem works, only problem is that rspec-rails needs the gem. Not sure where rails is getting rack from if it's not installed, is it bundled?

I am getting this as well. However, I get it when performing XHR requests even for non-vendored Rails on 2.3.2

I found a temporary workaround, not sure if it's correct but it works in my case:

https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994-ruby-on-rails/tickets...

Just add:

module Mime

class Type
```
def split(*args)
  to_s.split(*args)
end
```
end

end

to a config/initializers class file.

HTH, ian

I believe this is the same as https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/2658-internal...

I think it's the same problem as in #2658. I wrote a failing test that passes on edge, so it seems to be already fixed. I suggest including the test to avoid further problems.

I prefer:
```
class Mime::Type
  delegate :split, :to => :to_s
end
```
