PHP Proxy html2canvas
This script allows you to use html2canvas.js with different servers, ports and protocols (http, https),
preventing to occur "tainted" when exporting the <canvas> for image.
Others scripting language
You do not use PHP, but need html2canvas working with proxy, see other proxies:
- html2canvas proxy in asp.net (csharp)
- html2canvas proxy in asp classic (vbscript)
- html2canvas proxy in python (work any framework)
Problems and solutions
When adding an image that belongs to another domain in <canvas> and after that try to export the canvas
for a new image, a security error occurs (actually occurs is a security lock), which can return the error:
SecurityError: DOM Exception 18
Error: An attempt was made to break through the security policy of the user agent.
If using Google Maps (or google maps static) you can get this error in console:
Google Maps API error: MissingKeyMapError
You need get a API Key in: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key
If get this error:
Access to Image at 'file:///...' from origin 'null' has been blocked by CORS policy: Invalid response. Origin 'null' is therefore not allowed access.
Means that you are not using an HTTP server, html2canvas does not work over the "file:///" protocol, use Apache, Nginx or IIS with PHP for work.

Run script in Cross-domain (data URI scheme)
(See details: https://github.com/brcontainer/html2canvas-php-proxy/issues/9)
Note: Enable cross-domain in proxy server can consume more memory, but can be faster in execution it performs only one request at the proxy server.
Note: If the file html2canvasproxy.php is in the same domain that your project, you do not need to enable this option.
Note: Disable the "cross-domain" does not mean you will not be able to capture images from different servers, in other words, the "cross-domain" here refers to "html2canvas.js" (not necessarily the javascript file, but the place where runs) and the "html2canvas.php" are in different domains, the "cross-domain" here refers domain.
In some cases you may want to use this html2canvasproxy.php on a specific server, but the "html2canvas.js" and another server, this would cause problems in your project with the security causing failures in execution. In order to use security just set in the html2canvasproxy.php:
Enable data uri scheme for use proxy for all servers:
define('H2CP_DATAURI', true);
Disable data uri scheme:
define('H2CP_DATAURI', false);
Setup
| Definition | Description |
|---|---|
define('H2CP_PATH', 'cache'); |
Folder where the images are saved |
define('H2CP_PERMISSION', 0666); |
Set forlder permission (use 644 or 666 for remove execution for prevent sploits) |
define('H2CP_CACHE', 60 * 5 * 1000); |
Limit access-control and cache in seconds, define 0/false/null/-1 to not use "http header cache" |
define('H2CP_TIMEOUT', 20); |
Timeout from load Socket |
define('H2CP_MAX_LOOP', 10); |
Configure loop limit for redirects (location header) |
define('H2CP_DATAURI', false); |
Enable use of "data URI scheme" |
define('H2CP_PREFER_CURL', true); |
Prefer curl if avaliable or disable |
define('H2CP_SSL_VERIFY_PEER', false); |
Set false for disable SSL checking or true for enable (require config PHP.INI with curl.cainfo=/path/to/cacert.pem). You can set path manualy like this: define('H2CP_SSL_VERIFY_PEER', '/path/to/cacert.pem');
|
define('H2CP_ALLOWED_DOMAINS', '*'); |
* allow all domains, for subdomains use like this *.site.com, for fixed domains use , 'site.com,www.site.com' (string separed by commas) |
define('H2CP_ALLOWED_PORTS', '80,443'); |
Config allowed ports (string separed by commas) |
Usage
Note: Requires PHP5+

Using Web Console
If you have any problems with the script recommend to analyze the log use the Web Console from your browser:
- Firefox: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Browser_Console
- Chrome: https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/console
- InternetExplorer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg589530%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Get NetWork results:
- Firefox: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2013/05/firefox-developer-tool-features-for-firefox-23/
- Chrome: https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/network
- InternetExplorer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg130952%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
An alternative is to diagnose problems accessing the link directly:
http://[DOMAIN]/[PATH]/html2canvasproxy.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmaps.googleapis.com%2Fmaps%2Fapi%2Fstaticmap%3Fcenter%3D40.714728%2C-73.998672%26zoom%3D12%26size%3D800x600%26maptype%3Droadmap%26sensor%3Dfalse%261&callback=html2canvas_0
Replace [DOMAIN] by your domain (eg. 127.0.0.1) and replace [PATH] by your project folder (eg. project-1/test), something like:
http://localhost/project-1/test/html2canvasproxy.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmaps.googleapis.com%2Fmaps%2Fapi%2Fstaticmap%3Fcenter%3D40.714728%2C-73.998672%26zoom%3D12%26size%3D800x600%26maptype%3Droadmap%26sensor%3Dfalse%261&callback=html2canvas_0

Next versions
Details of future versions are being studied, in other words, can happen as can be forsaken ideas. The ideas here are not ready or are not public in the main script, are only suggestions. You can offer suggestions on issues.
- Etag cache browser for use HTTP 304 (resources are reusable, avoiding unnecessary downloads)
- Cache from SOCKET, if not specified header cache in SOCKET, then uses settings by
