readpixels problem with texturing/ texImage2D - not allowed.

Hello,

I hope somebody can help me.

I worked with readpixels and all was okay until I used texImage2D.
If I use readpixels and texImage2D - readpixels create the not allowed Error.

if (mCanvasElement->IsWriteOnly() && !nsContentUtils::IsCallerTrustedForRead()) {
    2247:         LogMessage("readPixels: Not allowed");
    2248:         return NS_ERROR_DOM_SECURITY_ERR;
    2249:     }

I do not know, where the problem is.
Can I switch something off or tell something to readpixels so it will work again with textures enable?
Texturing works fine and Readpixels without Texturing fine too.

I am working with Firefox Nightly Build and tested Safari WebKit on Windows PC - same Error not allowed. :frowning:

Thank you

If you use an image from outside the HTML page’s origin as a texture (e.g. image from a different website), the canvas is flagged as confidential and you can’t readPixels from it anymore. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy

Mhh this sounds strange.

    gl.activeTexture(gl.TEXTURE0);
    OBJbuffer.texturenDaten1 = gl.createTexture();
    OBJbuffer.texturenImage1 = new Image();
    OBJbuffer.texturenImage1.src = "nowebgl.jpg";//"nowebgl.jpg";	
	OBJbuffer.texturenImage1.onload = function()
		{
			gl.enable(gl.TEXTURE_2D);
			gl.bindTexture(gl.TEXTURE_2D, OBJbuffer.texturenDaten1);
			gl.texImage2D(gl.TEXTURE_2D, 0, OBJbuffer.texturenImage1);
			gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, gl.LINEAR);
			gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, gl.LINEAR);
			gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_WRAP_S, gl.CLAMP);
			gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_WRAP_T, gl.CLAMP);
			gl.bindTexture(gl.TEXTURE_2D, null);
	
		}

I tried it. So the jpgs are in the same directory like the script. But no readpixels allowed.

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Security error"  code: "1000" nsresult: "0x805303e8 (NS_ERROR_DOM_SECURITY_ERR)"  location: "file:///C:/Uni/12.%20Semester/Studienarbeit/WebGL%20V1-4/index_Shader_z_werte_texturmapping.html?Eingabe=bild.obj Line: 614"]

Here is the Second Error after not allowed.

Thanks for your input.

Okay, local stuff should be a security problem like other domains. So I need a local apache or so.

I used “netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege(“UniversalBrowserRead”);” befor the readpixels, so there is a warning but it works.

Thanks, I never stop learning :slight_smile:
