           Summary: data uri instead of webkit-fake-url for
                    contentEditable
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Editing
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: chrisjshull at gmail.com


When an element is set to be contentEditable, images can be pasted into the element. Currently the img src is set to a webkit-fake-url which makes the image data inaccessible via JS (I think because the same domain policy?).
However, this makes no sense in this case; if you are going to let people paste text into an element, and let JS access the text, then the same should be true for images. 
One way which might get around this is if the img's src was not a webkit-fake-url, but a data uri (I would guess, but I am not certain).

Example Use Case:
Taking a screenshot to clipboard, which can be pasted into an online bug reporter.
(Much easier than; screenshot to file, drag file onto file input.)
