Description

When clicking on an "input type='file'" nothing happens. I've read it doesn't work on "certain Android versions", but if so, is there a workaround that doesn't affect the invoked site, or could it be fixed once and for all in inappbrowser? I figure it's a security measure, but could that then be controlled via a content security policy? I've looked for answers, but haven't been able to figure out any working solution. A once-and-for-all fix in inappbrowser would of course be best.
