How can javascript upload a blob?

Question

I have a blob data in this structure:

Blob {type: \"audio/wav\", size: 655404, slice: function}
size: 655404
type: \"audio/wav\"
__proto__: Blob

I tried all the solutions above and in addition, those in related answers as well. Solutions including but not limited to passing the blob manually to a HTMLInputElement's file property, calling all the readAs* methods on FileReader, using a File instance as second argument for a FormData.append call, trying to get the blob data as a string by getting the values at URL.createObjectURL(myBlob) which turned out nasty and crashed my machine.

Now, if you happen to attempt those or more and still find you're unable to upload your blob, it could mean the problem is server-side. In my case, my blob exceeded the http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.upload-max-filesize and post_max_size limit in PHP.INI so the file was leaving the front end form but getting rejected by the server. You could either increase this value directly in PHP.INI or via .htaccess
