Hi,

I'm trying to read local file contents with phantomjs.
I attempted following script, using File API's FileReader.

========= fileread.js =========
if (phantom.state.length === 0) {
phantom.state = 1;
phantom.content = '<html><body><form><input type="file" id="foo" /></
form></body></html>';
} else {
var foo = document.getElementById('foo');
phantom.setFormInputFile(foo, 'fileId');
var file = foo.files[0];
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.readAsText(file, "UTF-8");
reader.onload = function (evt) {
console.log(evt.target.result);
}
reader.onerror = function (evt) {
console.log("error reading file");
}
phantom.exit();
}
===========================

but, I got the error.

$ phantomjs test.js --upload-file fileId=test.js
undefined:8 ReferenceError: Can't find variable: FileReader

Current version of QtWebKit doesn't seem to have FileReader.
I hope that issue #31 - "Bleeding-edge WebKit" will solve this in the
future.

Are there any way to read local files?
