Download file with Javascript and upload to restful web service

Question

I'd like to download a PDF file with JQuery/JS and then upload it to a WCF restful web service. Is this possible?

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $.get(HTML_FILE_URL, function (data) {
                debugger;
                $("#txt").val(data);
            });
        });

I have this code which returns something but it doesn't look enough content to be the PDF. It needs to be done with JS on the client as it will be used in Office 365 and I can't post to web services server side.

Answer 1

Please see the below project that uses Jquery to upload files to a server.
