Why does canvas.toDataURL() throw a security exception?

by

In the specs it says:

Whenever the toDataURL() method of a
canvas element whose origin-clean flag
is set to false is called, the method
must raise a SECURITY_ERR exception.

If the image is coming from another server I don’t think you can use toDataURL()
