Description

When doing a file.read(), Titanium SDK executes the following command in local.js: xhr.overrideMimeType('text/plain; charset=x-user-defined'); overrideMimeType is not supported in Internet Explorer and will break the app. to solve this, simply change the line to this:

if( xhr.overrideMimeType)
{
    xhr.overrideMimeType('text/plain; charset=x-user-defined');
}

I have modified the local copy of my SDK and verified that this does work. Created Pull Request: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/4460

Test case:

   var url = 'http://httpbin.org/post';
   var client = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient({
       onload : function(e) {
           alert("SUCCESS");
       },
       onerror : function(e) {
           alert("FAIL");
       },
       timeout:5000
   });
   client.open('POST', url);
   client.send({files:Ti.Filesystem.getFile('textfile.txt').read()});
