Can I create a TriggerIO File instance from Base64 data to pass to forge.request.ajax?

Good day, SO.

Using Trigger.IO's javascript SDK, is it possible to create a Forge File object from Base64 data suitable for passing to Forge's forge.request.ajax method?

I am attempting to upload an image to a server that requires submission in the form of an oldschool multipart/form-data request (can't be changed, unfortunately) from my TriggerIO mobile app. The image comes from canvas.toDataURL() in Base64 format.

Android 2.2 lacks both FormData, BlobBuilder and typed arrays -- making this exercise difficult via XMLHttpRequest (though I have it working well on all other modern platforms). I'm wondering if I might be able to get some joy using Trigger IO's Forge's forge.request.ajax?

  • Per @James Brady's comment, this cannot be done as of the current version (v1.4).
