Hi Johannes,

   Signing such a large piece of data would be too costly and wouldn't be
possible from only javascript, for the reason you described.  Your best bet
is to make a form that POSTs the data to your remote server and handle it
like normal.

   Why do you need the file to be signed?  It doesn't actually get you
anything, since the contents of the file are still supplied by the end
user.  Signing is only really useful for parameters that the container
inserts (like ID numbers of people) so that end users cannot tamper with
them.
