NameError: uninitialized constant MIME

Question

This line of rubypress code:

:type => MIME::Types.type_for(FILENAME).first.to_s,

is barfing with the following error:

NameError: uninitialized constant MIME

The whole block is:

FILENAME='myFile.png'
wp.uploadFile(:data => {
    :name => FILENAME,
    :type => MIME::Types.type_for(FILENAME).first.to_s,
    :bits => XMLRPC::Base64.new(IO.read(FILENAME))
    })

Any suggestions what the problem is?

Add require 'mime/types' to the top of your file.

extension =  File.extname(file).split(".")[1]
Mime::Type.lookup_by_extension(extension)
