Re: [File API] abort()
Anne, - Original Message - Per http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/FileAPI/#abort invoking abort() always results in events getting dispatched. This is not what happens in e.g. Gecko at the moment. When the state is EMPTY the method simply returns. To be clear, what is the behavior you are prescribing? Chrome folks, what is the desired behavior for your implementation? The dispatching of events should probably also be defined in terms of the event queue so it becomes more clear which are to be dispatched synchronously, etc. Currently all those interactions are quite vague in the File API specification. OK, I agree that this could be better, and should be improved in a subsequent version (especially making clear synchronous dispatch). If you could be more specific about your nits, that would help as well. -- A*

That might be ok, but the problem is still that if false is treated as eslaf it would still default to true (which is why I wrote the test with the bogus feature): If a required attribute is used, then let required-feature be the result of applying the rule for getting a single attribute value to the required attribute. If the required attribute is not used or if required-feature is not a valid boolean value, then let the value of required-feature be the value 'true'.

Re: Structured clone in WebStorage

Re: using BlobBuilder append method with generated binary data
I might have missed something but for appending client-side generated data to a blob can't you just append a UInt8Array as that is based off ArrayBuffer?

I searched the archives of this mailing list for blobs and generated content, but was not too successful. There may be multiple different reasons why one would need to build blobs from generated data. The one that concerns me, is being able to do binary POSTs with XmlHTTPRequest in a standard manner. To send binary data over XHR one is required to send out a blob, but first the blob needs to be constructed with BlobBuilder. Let me fill you in on how I see the current situation. Maybe someone can spot an error in my line of thought. A new (empty) BlobBuilder is created by stating... var bb = new BlobBuilder(); After creating a BlobBuilder, the user appends some data into the blob being generated by using the append function. The append function is overloaded and can be used to append multiple different types of data into the blob. Currently only existing blobs, and utf-8 text are supported. One can add an existing blob into the new one by doing... bb.append(existingBlob); One can add a text string in utf-8 format by doing... bb.append(aTextString); Once the data is in there, it is possible to construct the new blob with... var blob = bb.getBlob() A blob has a slice method which makes it possible to turn a large blob into smaller ones. It is thus possible to cut out single bytes from a blob and use them construct new blobs by appending copies of these sample bytes together with the BlobBuilder. As sample bytes can only be generated by writing text into the blob as utf-8, it is not possible to generate all 8-bit patterns. More specifically, the bit patterns that are illegal in any given utf-8 string, are not possible to generate using the current API. This leads developers into using various hacks to overcome the issue. For example one could ask the user to provide a file with sample bytes. Methods for reading a file into a blob are available, so there is no need to generate the sample bytes. There is however no way to make sure that the user provided a file with correct bit-patterns as the blob interface is to a large degree a read-only interface. A demonstration of using a file to overcome the issue is available at http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/twruottu/testi/bpost.html To solve the problem a third append function which accepts a list of integers, and adds the corresponding bytes into the blob is needed. Once such method has been introduced it should be possible to write the 7-bit ascii string foo into a BlobBuilder by doing... bb.append([102,111,111]); It should also be possible to add bytes 0x00 a -- Paul Kinlan Developer Advocate @ Google for Chrome and HTML5 t: +447730517944 tw: @Paul_Kinlan http://twitter.com/paul_kinlan LinkedIn: http://uk.linkedin.com/in/paulkinlan Blog: http://paul.kinlan.me Skype: paul.kinlan
