[aerogear-dev] Multipart client thoughts

[Kris Borchers]

I have to think on this. The simple answer for JS is XMLHttpRequest2 but since 3 of our supported browsers don't support it (THANKS IE9, iOS Safari 4.3 and Android 2.3!), I have to come up with something else which will likely not be pretty.

In Android it can be an interface which is implemented and in iOS it can be a block which is passed to AFHttpClient's multipartFormRequestWithMethod.  I'm not sure what the implications to JavaScript would be.
