Safari on iOS8 has broken file upload

[fwebdev]

With the new release iOS 8 Apple released also a major Bug.

Platform iOS8
Browser: Safari
Try to upload an image (or any other file) via an input-type: file. No matter which Website.
You will see the Browser run into a timeout.

This Problem does not occur in the old UIWebview (e.g. other Browsers like Chrome or Firefox or HybridApps that are using UIWebview)

As far as i know there is no workaround.
I think we have to wait for Apple to fix the Issue.

@staabm Thanks for link, but this bug is about iOS 8.0.0 and iOS 8.0.1 where files from input[type="file"] don't send to server.
