I believe you could do it like this :
var fd = new FormData();
fd.append( 'file', input.files[0] );
$.ajax({
url: 'http://example.com/script.php',
data: fd,
processData: false,
contentType: false,
type: 'POST',
success: function(data){
alert(data);
}
});
Notes:
Setting processData
to false
lets you prevent jQuery from automatically transforming the data into a query string. See the docs for more info.
Setting the contentType
to false
is imperative, since otherwise jQuery will set it incorrectly.
