Since there is no client side trick (for security reasons) to do a file upload other than a straight form POST (no xhr or anything) and since there is no response code other than 200 and no other way than the DOM of a text/html document that allows you to transport the result of the POST (like let's say the "location" after the 201) to a client-side app this is not a browser specific workaround. I wish there was something else but browsers are very consistent here. Frankly, I am not even sure what browsers could do about that in the future. regards, david
