[ Content Security Policy "data" not working for base64 Images in Chrome 28 ]
In this simple example I try to set a CSP Header with the meta http-equiv Header. I included a base64 Image and try to make Chrome to load the image. The Internet told mit the data Keyword should do that. But somehow its not working for me.
I just get the following Error in Developer Tools:
Refused to load the image 'data:image/png;base64,R0lGODlhDwAPAOZEAMkJCfAwMMYGBtZMTP75+euIiPFBP+hVVf3v7…nw7yk4Mjr6GLUY+joiBI2QAACABwJDCHgoKOHEoAYVBAgY8GGAxAoNGAmiwMHBCgccKDAKBAA7' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "img-src 'self' data".
The Example Code: (jsFiddle is not working for this example because I cannot set meta-Header there :-/)
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="
default-src 'none';
style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';
img-src 'self' data;
" />
<style>

According to the grammar in the CSP spec, you need to specify schemes as scheme:, not just scheme. So, you need to change the image source directive to:
img-src 'self' data:;
