Hi,

I'm generating a Blob with javascript and I want to download it to disk. This is possible, but you can't specify the file name. That's why I'm trying downloadify.

The thing is, nothing happens when downloadify is confronted with a Blob as data. I also tried base64 as data type. Maybe this is not the right way to use it, but probably desired behavior would be that the onerror funtion is called. Probably this will be the same with an ArrayBuffer.

I prefer not to convert my blob (again) to a string or base64 encode it because of memory consumption.
