I have tried to convert an image from an external source to a base64 string using html and the toDataUrl()
and the canvas
tag and it does not work. It throws Dom Exception 8
a security exception, which I later found that it doesn't allow you to convert these images from an external source.
I have setup a way doing it server-side, but I wanna reduce the load on my server downloading images. Is there any way around this?
