Data URI is a URI scheme, not an image file format. When you use src="http://...", the scheme is http, not data, the browser is expecting the response be an image, which means the response body should be the bytes of the image, not the base64 version.

so you can either: 1. just return the bytes of the image from the server instead of base64 2. use ajax to load base64 version from server, then set image's src attribute with it.
