jquery.ajax.arraybuffer

With this plugin you can handle ArrayBuffer or Blob responses.

How to use it?

Simply set dataType to arraybuffer or blob:

$.ajax({
    url: url,
    dataType: "arraybuffer",
    success: function(response) {
        // response here is an instance of an ArrayBuffer object
    }
});
$.ajax({
    url: url,
    dataType: "blob",
    success: function(response) {
        // response here is an instance of a Blob object
    }
});

Custom XMLHttpRequest is supported. This is how you can setup a progress handler:

$.ajax({
    url: url,
    dataType: "arraybuffer",
    success: function(response) {
        // response here is an instance of an ArrayBuffer object
    },
    xhr: function() {
        var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
        xhr.addEventListener('progress', function(event) {
            // handle your progress event
        });
        return xhr;
    }
});
