It would be nice if this was designed to handle the possibility of
multiple file selection (which I think Web Forms 2 enables).
It does actually. There's a fileList attribute on HTMLInputElement that
returns a FileList.
It'd be possible to extend this to avoid bringing these files into
memory. We'd just need globalStorage (or something like it) to
accept/return nsIDOMFile objects, and a way for XHR to send them.
Sounds reasonable. I'd love to see a rough cut at a spec for this.
XMLHttpRequest level 2 supports sending ByteArray. So you could do
something like the following maybe:
xhr.send(file.bytes)
Although if HTML5 gains a native File object I suppose support for that
could be added as well if there's any benefit.
