How to read loaded image into a blob?
- by Gajus Kuizinas
I am facing same-origin policy restrictions when loading remote images. However DOM 0 Image object can be used to load a remote resource (this is essentially the same as creating an <img /> tag).
var fr = new FileReader(),
img = new Image();
img.src = 'http://distilleryimage8.s3.amazonaws.com/6cf25568491a11e2af8422000a9e28e9_7.jpg';
img.onload = function () {
// how to get this image as a Blob object?
};
Is there a way to read this resource into a Blob/arraybuffer object? This is not a duplicate of How to convert an image object to a binary blob as the latter does not rise with same-origin issues.
