When a Blob is appended to a FormData, the XHR2 spec currently says
that the filename used should be the empty string unless the Blob is
also a File. If such a FormData is later submitted using
XMLHttpRequest, this will result in a request that contains something
similar to:
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="myblob"; filename=""
Unfortunately there appears to be some servers that are unable to deal
with the filename parameter being empty. See details and examples in
[1]. Chrome apparently already disregards the specification here and
generates a seemingly random value for the filename parameter.
Unless someone comes up with a reason otherwise, I suspect we need to
change the spec here.

Just set it to "blob" maybe? Or "blob.bin" or some such?
