As long as the browser supports it, you should be able to upload a file via Ajax using the FormData object (part of XHR Level 2). In web2py, the uploaded file should be available as a cgi.FieldStorage object, which should have a ".file" attribute. I'm not sure exactly what's wrong in this case, but in theory one might expect request.post_vars.uploading.file to contain the file object. @seank, have you confirmed that event.target.files[0] is in fact a file (i.e., confirm in the browser console)? If you view the contents of the Ajax request in the browser developer tools, can you confirm that a file was actually sent? Maybe there is an error elsewhere in your JS code.
