HTML5 Canvas getImageData and Same Origin Policy

Question

I have a site running at pixie.strd6.com and images hosted through Amazon S3 with a CNAME for images.pixie.strd6.com.

I would like to be able to draw these images to

Answer 1

In the past Amazon S3 didn't allow you to modify or add the access-control-allow-origin and access-control-allow-credentials HTTP headers so it may have been better to switch to a different service like Rackspace Cloud Files or some other service that does.

Add or modify the HTTP headers like this:

access-control-allow-origin: [your site]
access-control-allow-credentials: true

See http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/#use-cases for more information.

Using a service that allows you to modify the HTTP headers entirely solves the same origin problem.
