Description Takeshi Yoshino 2014-03-24 04:46:02 UTC 
Blob response entity body is specified to be built from the response entity body.

> 2. Return a Blob object representing the response entity body.

Shouldn't this algorithm also take final MIME type and final charset?

Current behavior of browsers: Both Firefox (28.0) and Chrome (32) copy the MIME type of the received response to the Blob, but not charset.

Yeah it should. I guess I forgot Blob was more than bytes.

Thanks. Verified.

As I said in comment #0, charset is not copied now. Current spec matches with them, but how do you think it should be? Also copying charset might be useful.
Comment 4 Anne 2014-06-25 08:09:02 UTC 
I thought Blob.prototype.type did not include the charset parameter.
