Upload File in IE8/9 or Safari doesn't work

[Capellaro]

I am trying to upload files using XDomain and the angular-upload-file https://github.com/danialfarid/angular-file-upload .

It is working nicely in Chrome and Firefox but nothing happens when submitting the exact same form in IE or Safari. No request are even send so I can not debug it...

Even your example at http://jpillora.com/xdomain/example/formdata/ doesn't work on these browsers.

what versions of IE / Safari?

I have Safari Version 6.1.3 and IE version 9.0.8112 for instance.

Do you have the same issue?

[jpillora]

Testing safari now, looks like its the same in safari 7, looking into it...

[jpillora]

so this fixed for safari, not sure if it can work in IE9, needs Blob FormData and FileReader. Are those supported?

[Capellaro]

Thanks for the safari's fix it is working like a charm. Indeed I am not sure Blob FormData and FileReader are supported by IE, I must give it a look

I have the following error when accessing the page that implements the upload file directive : Adobe Flash Player need to be installed. To check ahead use "FileApi.hasFlash"<input value="" type="file" ng-file-select="onFileSelect($files)" Refering to DanialFarid on this post https://github.com/danialfarid/angular-file-upload/issues/113 : By the way this won't work for IE8-9 FileAPI, since it is using flash to send the request not XMLHttpRequest so the cross domain policy will not allow you to upload unless you setup crossdomain.xml file on your server.

[jpillora]

Yep so the crossdomain.xml works similar to the proxy.html file, needs to be on the target domain. probably your best bet if you need ie cross domain Ajax file uploads

I'm having a similar issue. This is the error I'm getting:

Same here. Only in IE8. When I run IE11 in IE8 mode, the debugger stalls here: https://github.com/jpillora/xdomain/blob/gh-pages/dist/xdomain.js#L470

It's trying to set a header "Slave-Cookie" to the value "" (empty string). I'm not sure why, as I have specified xdomain.cookies on both the master and slave (I wasn't sure which, so I did it on both). That's when IE8 throws "SCRIPT87. Invalid argument". I don't understand why xdomain is trying to set a header called "Slave-Cookie" when I set the slave cookie name to "Cookie".

In my case I'm not trying to upload a file, just fetch some JSON.
