how do you upload a filestream/buffer in winrt html/JavaScript?

I want to read a file from local storage and upload it via ajax. How is this done?

Solution

  • I managed to figure it out. Here's the code for anyone interested.

    var form = new FormData();
            form.append("data", angular.toJson(message));
            var bytes = new Uint8Array(audio.length); //audio is an IBuffer 
                var dataReader = Windows.Storage.Streams.DataReader.fromBuffer(audio);
                dataReader.readBytes(bytes);
                dataReader.close();

                var media = new Blob([bytes], { type: "application/octet-stream" }); //application/octet-stream or audio/mpeg?
                form.append("attached_files", media, "recording-aac.caf");

            return $http.post(AppSettings.baseUri + "api/sendmessage", form, { headers: { "Content-Type": undefined } });
