That is true, but it seems you conflate networking with files. Networking is the domain of XMLHttpRequest. With XMLHttpRequest Level 2 we support such things as progress events and cross-origin loads. There's also the plan to add a new response"X" attribute to the XMLHttpRequest object that returns a FileData object to link with the File API. (Similarly send() will be even more overloaded to also accept FileData objects.) Now given this it would be good if you could propose your extensions within this framework. What would be even better would just be uses completely agnostic of any particular technology and then we can try to find the right solution based on those use cases. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
