Trying to utilize FileReader to send an ASCII file from the client side to loader.load() seems to be causing an issue. The file doesn't reach its destination. However, if I use
loader.load('server path to test_file.stl')loader.load(fileObject), the file does show up in the 3D scene.
I added an alert() function to display the ASCII text of the file, confirming that JavaScript is successfully grabbing and processing the file without any Chrome security barriers. However, there seems to be an issue with correctly passing the file to loader.load().
