Possible to use base64 embeded images?

[armanx]

I'm trying to use this:

%img{:src => "data:image/png;charset=utf-8;base64,AATL..."}

but either getting a broken image icon, or no image at all. Since WebKit supports data URIs, doesn't wkhtmltopdf support them too? If so, why doesn't it work?

For those who don't read HAML, I meant this:

<img src="data:image/png;charset=utf-8;base64,AATL..">

You have to replace the tags with a path to the file. A base64 block is a EML thing. Not an HTML thing.

I've not used data URIs before, but it does seem to have limited mention in the HTML 4 specs for OBJECT tags:

http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/struct/objects.html#h-13.3.1

And wikipedia suggests data URIs have been implemented in most browsers, including WebKit-based ones:

Don't know if this is still relevant.

I was able to get base64 images to work.
