[iOS] Paste images does not work on iOS

[Magnus Karlsson]

If you copy an image on iOS (5.1 tested), it looks like its working, but if you show the source it shows: <img src="webkit-fake-url://749E63E5-2740-41C0-BACB-512E6198931E/imagejpeg" /></p>

No one Else can see this image...

Is it possible to paste it as URI image? See: ​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_URI_scheme

If you copy an image on iOS (5.1 tested),

Could you tell me how you copy this image?

1. You drag and drop it?
2. Does this image has URL (you know ​http://www.aaa.com/a.jpg) or you copy it from your phone (it is placed locally on your phone)?

[Magnus Karlsson]

1. No, i copy it in Safari - point on a picture on a webpage - choose "copy"
2. Yes its has an URL

webkit-fake-url:// should probably be filtered on paste

Webkit allows you to copy and paste images to content-editable regions, but the result is an aptly-named "webkit-fake-url" that (as far as I can tell) is completely useless for anything other than displaying the image in the local browser (there's apparently no way to get at the data from Javascript).

There's an open (but unassigned) issue in the Webkit tracker requesting that this be replaced with a data-uri: ​https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49141
