[whatwg] HTML5 Offline web applications & file upload
Hi, I was wondering if HTML5 Offline mode and file upload can work together ? I can't find any reference in the online draft which covers only server resource caching. Let's imagine you're writing some kind of data editor that works in offline mode, can you ask the user to select a file to import from his filesystem that can be processed with javascript or directly transfered to the localStorage while being offline ?
