Ruby on Rails:Handling image in RoR API using Paperclip

Question

I have a rails application that act as a backend. In my application I have an image uploading field which uses paperclip gem.

It works fine in web view, but I need to upload a image from front-end. I tried in POSTMAN Client by giving image path in JSON format, but it does not works.

Does any one know the format for uploading image? Is there any thing I need to specify in header?

What I have:

Image uploading from POSTMAN Client

Posting URL

http://localhost:3000/users.json   ---   POST

Headers used

Content-Type  ->  application/json

Raw Data

{
"image":"C://image/sample.jpg"
}

What doe it mean "upload in json format"? You want to do it with AJAX? — Phobos98, Dec 30 '12 at 15:48
