https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29331

           Summary: XMLHttpRequest binary post
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: sebastian.kroll at sic-software.eu


Currently the send method of the XMLHttpRequest class always does an utf-8
encoding of the body.
See here for details:
http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebCore/xml/XMLHttpRequest.cpp#L452

To enable on PalmWebOs the transfer of raw binary data inside a post, we need
the ability to disable this utf-8 encoding.

This issue is already discussed in the palm forum:
http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=550&start=10

maybee implement an 'sendAsBinary' method would be the best solution.
