Description Simon Pieters 2014-01-31 08:47:41 UTC 
FileList, Blob, File and FileReader should have [Exposed=Window,Worker] webidl annotations so that they're usable in workers. (FileList and Blob/File already survive structured clone.)
Comment 1 Arun 2014-02-27 23:19:06 UTC 
Fixed. The only interface which isn't annotated is the partial URL interface, but I think appropriate annotations (and decisions on whether it should be exposed on Workers) should happen as part of the URL spec.

Relevant changes are:

1. http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/FileAPI/#blob
2. http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/FileAPI/#file
3. http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/FileAPI/#filelist-section (which isn't long for this world, and is likely to get replaced by an Array soon).
