Is there an alternative for File() constructor for Safari and IE?

Question

I am using the File() constructor for creating file object for uploading a blob file to the server. The following code works fine for Chrome, but fails for Safari and Intern

According to web "Can I use" Safari does not support the new File() constructor. See this link http://caniuse.com/#feat=fileapi

So I think you have to either use FileReader or maybe use some of the polyfills listed here https://github.com/Modernizr/Modernizr/wiki/HTML5-Cross-Browser-Polyfills

Especially this one could be useful for you https://github.com/mailru/FileAPI (I did not use it myself)

Also have a look at this SO answer What to use instead of FileReader for Safari?
