Draw images using data:// URIs no longer possible

[futape]

I found this bug / would like to have this new functionality

Since mPDF 7.1.8 or since commit 20ff639 (PR #950) it's no longer possible to use a data:// URI as source of an image to draw. This is that commit fixe issue #949. Unfortunately instrad of implementing a blacklist disabling the phar:// wrapper, a whitelist only allowing http, https and file URIs as well as traditional paths has been implemented disabling any data:// URIs (as well as any other wrapper).
I would suggest changing to a blacklist strategy.

This is mPDF and PHP version and environment (server/fpm/cli etc) I am using

mPDF 7.1.8
PHP 7.0.33
Apache 2.4.18

This is a PHP code snippet I use

<?php
$mpdf = new \Mpdf\Mpdf();
$mpdf->Image('data://image/jpg;base64,<base64-encoded jpeg>');

You can work around this by configuring a whitelist you are comfortable with on your host when initialising mPDF: b69be38

Cool, thanks for your reply. This solves this issue.

How can you achieve this? It has something to do with the server or the config file? I can't make it work with base64 streams. :(
