(gears 0.5.4) creating a blob object in javascript

[dviner]

Is there a way to create a GearsBlob object from a javascript variable
within javascript?

I have a bytearray that is constructed in javascript, and want to
store it into my localstore using captureAsBlob... but that interface
appears to require a Blob object, not just a bytearray.

Thanks
Dave

Is there any particular reason why you want to store it in the
LocalServer? You could store it in a database instead.

HI Andrei,

I suppose that a Database could work as well. I imagine that I would
store my bytearray as a Blob into the GearsDatabase and then access it
using the standard sqlite result set. Does the blob datatype allow
for binary data? Does accessing it via the ResultSet maintain the
binary representation?

Thanks
Dave

My use case (posted here a couple of months ago) is to generate a pdf
report while offline, and then serve that to the user. In order to do
that, we need to be able to put it in the local store, it is not
sufficient to store it in the database.

Len.
