           Summary: Allow a File blob as argument for XMLHttpRequest
                    send()
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: elima at igalia.com


send() method of XMLHttpRequest doesn't handle passing a File blob as data argument. The expected behavior would be to send the file contents as binary data I guess.

This feature works in Chrome and Firefox 4 at least, but I could not find a reference to it in the specs <http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/#the-send-method>.

My particular use case it to allow FileTea <http://filetea.me> to work well in Epiphany browser. That feature is the only missing bit.
