Hi, I need to fetch an image from the web (any site), and then store it locally in a Blob. I can do this using xmlhttpRequest, by setting the responseType to "blob". But as the images I have to download aren't on the same domain, I need to use GM_xmlhttprequest (for CORS).
But GM_xmlhttprequest doesn't support the responseType, so the resulting Blob is not valid. I've tried searching on Google, the most common suggestion it's to set "text/plain; charset=x-user-defined" as the mime type and then do some local processing, but it doesn't work (at least in my case). It's also an "hacky" solution, as the javascript code has to read every byte from the request. So my question is, there is a good alternative? Or even just a working one? Or there is any plan to support responseType within GM_xmlhttprequest? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "greasemonkey-users" group.
