[webkit-dev] Blob will support ArrayBufferView instead of ArrayBuffer for Constructor Parameters

[Yin, Li]

Okay, I updated the patch, currently, it supports both of ArrayBuffer and ArrayBufferView.

And I have filed a new bug about removing support of ArrayBuffer.
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88389

Thanks for your good comments.

I think that WebKit should continue to support the old constructor for a brief period of time, but warn about its use. I've commented on the patch indicating this.

Li Yin, if you implement this, please file a follow-on bug about removing support for the old constructor. The new bug should depend on the old, and it would be nice if you would own the follow-on bug.
