Implement the Blob interface for the File API as defined in the HTML5 specification:
http://www.w3.org/TR/FileAPI/#blob

Implementing Blob means that files can be read in chunks, rather than reading the entire file into memory to access it.

More information here:
http://www.filosophy.org/2010/06/a-state-of-limbo-the-html5-file-api-filereader-and-blobs/

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to page http://rapilabs.com/test_slicing.html
2. Choose a text file using the file field
3. An alert should display the first 1024 characters of the file
Actual Results:  
Error console shows:

Error: file.slice is not a function
Source File: http://rapilabs.com/test_slicing.html
Line: 7

Expected Results:  
An alert displaying the first 1024 characters of the file

Chrome 6 implements the Blob interface and displays the expected results.
Not a jseng issue.  Jonas, is this on our 2.0 list?

Attached patch Patch to fix (obsolete) — Splinter Review
The only tricky part here was implementing the nsIInputStream which streams part of a file. There might be more graceful ways of doing that, but this felt the safest and most cross-platform.

The bulk of the patch is really search'n'replacing s/File/Blob/ in a bunch of code since we now generally deal with Blobs rather than Files. They are for most intents and purposes the same though, the only difference is that Files have a name.

There is also a minor somewhat unrelated tweak in the patch too. I made nsDOMMemoryFile::GetMozFullPathInternal return an empty string. This shouldn't have an effect at all really since the only place where we call that function is from nsHTMLInputElement, but that (currently) always deals with "real" files.


So the only real changes here are in nsDOMFile.cpp/h and in nsFileStreams.cpp/h.

Also, the test (but not the actual code) relies on the fix for bug 599300, so marking a dependency.

Attached patch Patch v1.1 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This fixes a build error on gcc and adds even more tests.

I'm running into some image/png encoding issues on windows resulting in getting less data there than ideally needed for the test. For some reason the encoded png image on windows is about a quarter of the size on mac.

This doesn't affect the functionality, but does somewhat affect the tests there. I've pushed updated tests to try to see if they help.

Summary: Implement the Blob interface in the File API → Implement the Blob interface in the File API (file.slice)
Attaching this for posterity.

Originally I used this approach when implementing .slice. I do think it makes more sense, but I don't see much reason for landing it now as it doesn't fix any bugs. Basically the idea is that nsDOMFile and nsDOMMemoryFile has enough in common that it results in less and cleaner code to simply merge the two classes.

I do think we'll want to do something like this eventually, as to allow flushing memory-backed files to disk if they are large and remains in memory for a long time. So we'll need to allow morphing a memory-backed file into a disk-backed file.

That will obviously need more changes though.

Patch v1.1

Looks pretty good, the only thing that jumps out at me are some overflow issues.  Also, while I think it's reasonable for me to review the File API parts of this, the nsPartialFileInputStream stuff should get sr.

mIsFile needs a better name.  Perhaps mIsCompleteFile?  or mIsSubFile? (and reverse the polarity on everything)

I think a zero sized slice should accept a null mFile here, so that we don't hold the file reference longer than necessary.

Ideally we'd accept a null mDataOwner for a zero byte slice so that we can free the memory as soon as possible.

Why not make DataOwner have a constructor that takes the pointer?  Seems cleaner to me.

This forward declaration is unnecessary.

var file = GetFileFromSomewhere(); // Get a 20 byte file from somewhere
var blob = file.slice(10, 10, "text/plain");
var blob2 = blob.slice(2, 2^64-1, "text/plain");

The clamping is going to overflow and we're going to create some sort of nonsense blob.

Same overflow problem.  Please factor the clamping out into a separate function so that we don't duplicate this logic.

I assume you just copied this bug number from somewhere else, because it's not this bug ;-)

My only real comment on the test is that I'd like to see testing of the clamping and of the zero size slices, as those seem like the hairer parts of the spec.  It's possible that there are tests for that already that I just missed.

Nothing really jumped out at me here, but it would nice to have an xpcshell test for this interface.

Definitely. Didn't want to ask for sr until I had r.

How about mIsFullFile?

Actually no, currently mStart is uninitialized for nsDOMFile with mIsFile=true. I did ponder changing that, but it felt weird to have mStart initialized and used, but mLength not.

I think a zero-sized slice is not worth optimizing for. I don't see any real-world reasons for anyone to do so.

Good idea, will do.

actually, the IDL compiler tripped if I didn't forward declare. I think that it didn't like parsing the slice() function declaration, which returns an nsIDOMBlob, before the nsIDOMBlob interface was fully parsed.

Good catch! Will add clamping somewhere.

That is tested already. Though I realized that i only test zero-sized slices that are produced due to clamping. Will add a test for a zero-sized slice produced through a explicit zero-length.

Will do.

Yeah, this occurred to me too just recently. Will do.
Is there a reason the spec allows zero sized slices at all?
Better return a zero-sized slice than to throw. Or, javascript String.substr allows it.

Consider for example if someone does file upload by slicing the file in 10000 byte slices. If they have some rounding errors or off-by-one errors in the math, they might end up with a zero-sized chunk at the end. If we return a zero-sized slice then things will likely work just fine. If we throw it might fail to upload anything.
OK, fair enough.  The rest of your comments sound good to me.

Patch v1.1

+++ b/netwerk/base/public/nsIFileStreams.idl

Can you briefly document somewhere in this file what will happen if offset > filesize, or offset+length>filesize? I'm fine if you specify that the behaviour is undefined, but I think it would be good to document whether that's an OK thing to do or not.

+++ b/netwerk/base/src/nsFileStreams.cpp
+nsPartialFileInputStream::Read(char* aBuf, PRUint32 aCount, PRUint32* aResult)
+{
+    PRUint32 readsize = TruncateSize(aCount);
+    if (readsize == 0 && mBehaviorFlags & CLOSE_ON_EOF) {
+        Close();
+        *aResult = 0;
+        return NS_OK;

Hmm, so this means that calling Read() with a zero count will close the file. That sounds wrong. I'm not sure that this code should be before Read at all, why not add an mPosition==mStart+mLength check after the nsFileInputStream::Read call?

+    if (offset < (PRInt64)mStart || offset > (PRInt64)(mStart + mLength)) {
+        return NS_ERROR_FAILURE;

INVALID_ARGUMENT perhaps?

I retract this comment. The existing Read() behaves the same way, so this is fine.
Attached patch Patch v1.2 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Addresses review comments. Still lacking the xpcshell test. I've got it mostly working but the problem is that our *current* file streams are very broken so I'm having to use a different approach when testing.

Attached patch Patch v1.3Splinter Review
Now with all tests (there's a lot of them) and ready for approval. Forwarding the reviews from previous patches. The only thing different in this patch is the addition of the xpcshell test which tests the new partial-file-stream.
