We've discussed a different approach to responses in XHR Level 2. The idea is to have a 'responseType' property which is set to the data type you're interested in (text, xml, arrayBuffer, etc.) and then a 'response' property that would be of the appropriate type. One question I have is whether Blobs are necessary if we have ArrayBuffers. ----- ~Chris cmar...@apple.com _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
