In IE you have to use a flash plugin or something. I think even supporting FF and Chrome would be an issue though, as we treat POST_DATA to the makeRequest call as a string... and osapi.http.post goes through RPC so that seems like it will be impossible to ever get to work posting binary data. Anyone have any ideas, or run into this before?
