File upload on firefox with application/json response about form HOT 9 CLOSED

Did that fix the problem, I have the same problem. FF wants to download the json response, not parse it in the callback.

If you embed your response json in a textarea element everything will work fine:

<textarea>{ "my": "response" }</textarea>

Hm, that looks like a worst workaround than placing an incorrect mime-type on the response to me. Which is the real problem here?, isn't it a FF problem?

The problem requires a workaround so pick your poison.

Seems like it. I'm already poisoned with my proposed solution, but I wonder how to report this to mozilla as a FF bug. It's a FF bug, right?

from form.

No, it's not a bug. The browser can be configured to take various actions based on the mimetype of the response. But there is no way for javascript to effect that configuration. Note that when I add FormData support to the plugin this issue should resolve as genuine ajax will be used for the upload. Hope to have that added within the next couple weeks.

Thank you!

I recomend to take a look in: #448

Also, text/x-json works better than text/plain, for semathic reasons.
