There is a picture (1.jpg) on web server A and I want to make
a modified version available using a web server B. Because
of copyright I can't just copy the picture, modify it and
store it on server B. Instead a html file (test.htm) and
a data file which describes how the picture has to be
modified (diff.dat) is stored on server B. When a user
loads the html file into his browsers, the javascript code
loads the original picture from server A and the modification
file from server B, changes the picture and displays it.

I'm not familiar with javascript, but with help of Google
I hacked together a few lines of code. But it only works if
all three files are on the same server:

http://ikomi.de/test/test.htm
http://ikomi.de/test/1.jpg
http://ikomi.de/test/diff.dat


If the picture is on a different server, there seems to be
an access violation. How can I avoid this violation or in
which other way can I read a binary file from a different
web server into a javascript array.



<html><head><title>jpg</title>
<script type="text/javascript">

function load_binary_resource(url) {
  var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
  req.open('GET', url, false);
  req.overrideMimeType('text\/plain; charset=x-user-defined');
  req.send(null);
  if (req.status != 200) return '';
  return req.responseText;}

var original = load_binary_resource("http://ikomi.de/test/1.jpg");
var diff = load_binary_resource("http://ikomi.de/test/diff.dat");

data='';
for (i = 0; i < diff.length; i++) {
  m=i%original.length;
  data += String.fromCharCode((original.charCodeAt(m)^diff.charCodeAt(i))&0xff);}

document.write('<img src="data:image/jpg;base64,');
document.write(btoa(data));
document.write('">');

</script></head><body></body></html>
