Bug 187510 – [FileAPI] FileReader.readAsArrayBuffer(null) should throw a Type Error

• Status: NEW
• Component: WebCore JavaScript

[zac spitzer]

Webkit currently just returns, all other major browsers do a type check and throw an error

var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onloadend = function(e) {
  console.log(e);
}
reader.readAsArrayBuffer(null);
