I tried to write a bit of code to retrieve an image file (from Wikimedia Commons), store it locally and then display it. Here my code:
<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
<head>
<script>
window.requestFileSystem  = window.requestFileSystem || window.webkitRequestFileSystem;
function onError(e) {
  console.log('Error', e);
}
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', 'http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/fr/2/26/10_francs_Mathieu_1987_F365-28_revers.jpg', true);
xhr.responseType = 'blob';
xhr.onload = function(e) {
window.requestFileSystem(PERSISTENT, 1024 * 1024, function(fs) {alert(fs.root.name);}, onError);
  window.requestFileSystem(PERSISTENT, 1024 * 1024, function(fs) {
    fs.root.getFile('image.jpg', {create: true}, function(fileEntry) {
      fileEntry.createWriter(function(writer) {
        writer.onwrite = function(e) {};
        writer.onerror = function(e) {};
        var blob = new Blob([xhr.response], {type: 'image/jpeg'});
        writer.write(blob);
      }, onError);
    }, onError);
  }, onError);
  window.requestFileSystem(PERSISTENT, 1024 * 1024, function(fs) {
    fs.root.getFile('image.jpg', {create: false}, function(fileEntry) {
        fileEntry.file(function(file) {
            var reader = new FileReader();
            reader.onloadend = function(event) {
                var img = document.createElement("img");
                img.src = event.target.result;
                document.body.parentNode.insertBefore(img, document.body.nextSibling);
            };
            reader.readAsDataURL(file);
        }, onError);
    }, onError);
  }, onError);
};
xhr.send();
</script>
</head> 
<body>
</body>
</html>
Nothing is displayed. Chrome's console doesn't display any error message, so I have no idea why it's not working. Any clue?
Edit :
I have just seen I actually get a FileError, code 10, which means QUOTA_EXCEEDED_ERR, even if I start my Google Chrome with these parameters:
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --allow-file-access-from-files --unlimited-quota-for-files
Actually, I get the same error with or without the --unlimited-quota-for-files parameter, which is weird. But I get a File Error 2 without --allow-file-access-from-files
