Does calling send( file ) generate the appropriate Content-Type request header with matching boundary? How can this feature be detected? Idea: How about passing a form to send? When passing a form to send, the correct headers are set from the form's enctype, generating the boundary, content-disposition and other stuff for multipart requests. The only problem is that it complicates send with much functionality. Responsibly adaptive and well designed web apps will want to creat feature tests and fallback strategies, but this will be awkward and difficult to do, given the current API. Why not create a separate method - sendForm. if(xhr.sendForm) xhr.sendForm(form); Garrett > Regards, > Maciej > > > >
