Does xdomain support uploads and FormData?

[AdamQuadmon]

Hi Jamie,
I'm trying to upload files under xdomain but seems xdomain is not handling the file.
In a first place I thought was an issue with another XHR see this issue.

But then I realize the issue is the same even without the XHR hack.

I saw xHook 1.1 is handling upload stuff but xDomain 0.5 is still not using it!

Then I saw your 0.6 version of xDomain that seems to be intended to solve this issues.

I'm wrong?

• is there a way to handle files upload now (with 0.5)?
• if not, how can we help you in the 0.6 version of xDomain?

we really need it so please tell me how can I help to put 0.6 out!

Thanks for the library and for helping

XHook 1.1 fixes a few bugs and is now handling more event types, though for FormData, I'm going to change the XDomain postMessage internals to use objects when possible, which should make XHR2 features functional with the release of 0.6

Thanks for the offer though I think I've nearly got it :)

Hey I just released 0.6, I've done some basic testing for FormData though it'll probably need more, Strings and Blobs should work, still working on Files

I tested last version of xdomain (v.0.6.2) to upload file and found that in chrome this works fine, but in firefox (v.27.0.1) I always get error (DataCloneError: The object could not be cloned.) in line 635: d = JSON.parse(d); when I try to upload first time. And all subsequent tries end up with the same error (DataCloneError: The object could not be cloned.) but in line 692: frame.postMessage(args, "*");

Also it works in IE11.

Without file upload all GET and POST requests go smoothly.
In my case the slave domain was a subdomain of the master domain (for clarification).

I had a look into this. Firefox can't send Blobs over postMessage (DataCloneError), though UInt8Array works. So the solution is to convert it Blobs to UInt8Arrays then back again.

Before I emit the request object I'll need to convert the request.body.entries.

Wait for next release to test it!

I just released a few bug fixes and minor changes, though didn't have time for this. Will post back here when I do 👍
