Description

When using File API to write a file and as data to write that file reference it's a reference instead of the data, or the data is instance of a File or Blob, the right workflow is read the source file, get the data, to later write it to the new file.
Over WP8, is not possible use that workflow using readAsDataURL.
Found through mobilespec File tests.
