My bad- IE's canvas handles ico perfectly well. I am quick to judge IE and careless when it comes to configuring my own server's MIME types. ;)
For the record, Safari's canvas (desktop and iOS) supports ico, too. toDataURL() is entirely broken on Android 2.2 (the only Android version I can test at the moment), but I suspect later versions are in line with Chrome/WebKit. Opera's canvas works with ico on the versions/ platforms I tested. So if it's not part of the spec, whatever that is, ico seems to be a de facto standard.

Then it should work with node-canvas as well. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
