Bug #: 28658
Summary: Use MHTML URLs as an alternative to data URLs in IE <
8
Product: MediaWiki
Version: wikimedia-deployment
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized

With this technique, we could output something like:
background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw .... ); // For normal
browsers
background-image:
url(mhtml:http://example.com/w/load.php?modules=blah&only=mhtmlimages!foo) !ie;
// For IE. Can also use star hack as suggested in the article
Where load.php?modules=blah&only=mhtmlimages would output something like:
/*
Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="_RLFTW"
--_RLFTW
Content-Location:foo
Content-Transfer-Encoding:base64
iVBORw...
--_RLFTW
Content-Location:bar
Content-Transfer-Encoding:base64
R0lGOD...
*/
There seem to be some issues with this on Vista, but we'll cross that bridge
when we come to it. For now this is a nice-to-have for ResourceLoader 2.0.
