Description

I need to work with blob objects for taking images from the camera and uploading them via an HTTPClient request, etc. Unfortunately, the blob interface isn't actually documented in the API reference for Titanium Mobile, although it's occasionally mentioned.

Probably should appear somewhere under
https://developer.appcelerator.com/apidoc/mobile/latest/Titanium-module"> https://developer.appcelerator.com/apidoc/mobile/latest/Titanium-mo... ?

In comparison, the Desktop API's blob class is documented:
https://developer.appcelerator.com/apidoc/desktop/latest/Titanium-module"> https://developer.appcelerator.com/apidoc/desktop/latest/Titanium-m...
https://developer.appcelerator.com/apidoc/desktop/latest/Titanium.Blob-object"> https://developer.appcelerator.com/apidoc/desktop/latest/Titanium.B...

Have stumbled on at least one major API inconsistency in this undocumented module:

Are there any news about this issue?

In my case, i'm running into problems when trying to create a blob for a webview. There is no documentation about how to do it on Titanium mobile and desktop code does not work. Example:
```
   var html = Titanium.API.createBlob( {
       contents : "<html><body><p>test</p></body></html>"
   });
   
   var campaignsWebview = Ti.UI.createWebView( {
       data : html
   });
   
```
The createBlob method doesn't exist in this case.

Definitely a dupe, because the Blob docs exist in 1.6.0RC1. Marking resolved.
