How to save canvas image using classic ASP?

Question

I\'m a bit stuck here. I know that I can use the canvas.toDataURL to produce a base64 encoded string to pass to a classic ASP page on my server. But the problem I can\'t see

Answer 1

You could use an XML element specifying bin.base64 data type that created through a DomDocument instance to encoding / decoding Base64 data.
Then you can save obtained binary to disk using a Stream object.
Both of these libraries are 64 bit supported. Assuming the content you sent will be available in a Request collection (classic post methods without json etc.) on the server-side, following code solves the problem or at worst I'm sure that gives you insight.

saveImage.asp

Function Base64Data2Stream(sData)
    Set Base64Data2Stream = Server.CreateObject("Adodb.Stream")
        Base64Data2Stream.Type = 1 'adTypeBinary
        Base64Data2Stream.Open
    With Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DomDocument.6.0").createElement("b64")
        .dataType = "bin.base64"
        .text = sData
        Base64Data2Stream.Write .nodeTypedValue 'write bytes of decoded base64 to stream
        Base64Data2Stream.Position = 0
    End With
End Function

Dim CanvasStream
Set CanvasStream = Base64Data2Stream(Request.Form("imageData"))

'Write binary to Response Stream
'Response.BinaryWrite CanvasStream.Read

'Write binary to File
CanvasStream.SaveToFile Server.Mappath("imgFileFromCanvas.png"), 2 'adSaveCreateOverWrite
