Currently the send method of the XMLHttpRequest class always does an utf-8 encoding of the body. See here for details: http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebCore/xml/XMLHttpRequest.cpp#L452 To enable on PalmWebOs the transfer of raw binary data inside a post, we need the ability to disable this utf-8 encoding. This issue is already discussed in the palm forum: http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=550&start=10 maybee implement an 'sendAsBinary' method would be the best solution.

Please work with W3C WebApps working group <http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/> to specify XMLHttpRequest binary transfers.

Since it was specific requested for PalmOS webkit port and related to divergence from Web Standard. It is better to be raised with WHATWG here: https://github.com/whatwg/html Closing it as "RESOLVED WONTFIX" due to requesting change in Web-Spec, which is separate from Web-Spec implementation with Webkit.
