I recall talking to hixie about this at some point, and I recall that at that point localstorage was explicitly prevented from Blobs, although I can't see any sign of that rule anymore :-/ --Oliver On Dec 3, 2010, at 10:41 AM, Darin Fisher wrote: > Have you guys considered what happens when a Blob is present? I'm very concerned about that case since WebStorage is a synchronous API. If storing a Blob in LocalStorage involves synchronous disk IO, then I'm pretty sure it is something I would object to implementing.
