This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
This was raised by Israel Hilerio on http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webcrypto/2013Apr/0145.html """ In addition, to avoid the potential casting of ArrayBuffer into ArrayBufferView we believe it would be useful to create a new type called AlgorithmInputData: -->typedef (ArrayBuffer or ArrayBufferView) AlgorithmInputData; This would allow the various input dictionaries to be able to support input variables with either ArrayBufferView or ArrayBuffer. """
Fixed as of https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcrypto-api/rev/0e0ada1059f6
