Save and Export tool not working

[Vikram]

Hi,
We are using the telerik version 2015.3.930.45.
We are facing issue with Save and Export.
RadImageEditor Code in HTML

  <telerik:RadImageEditor ID="testImageViewer" runat="server" ImageUrl="https://xxxxxx-xxxxxx.us/EDMTempfiles/10068_Image/nature2.jpg" EnableResize="true"  EnableViewState="true" ToolsFile="~/Config/RadImageEditor.xml" >

1. When we click on Save button on tool, select “Downlaod Image” from “Save Dialog” and click “Ok” button then only .png file is downloading but we set .jpg image in the ImageUrl property and expecting .jpg file in download. 

2. When we click on “Export” button in tool, we are getting the below error
Message : ="https://xxxxxx-xxxxxx.us/EDMTempfiles/10068_Image/nature2.jpg ' is not a valid virtual path.

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong with imageEditor properties.

Hello Vikram,

Using images from external URL (http://host/image) is not supported as an out-of-the-box feature. It may render, but server-side operation over the image cannot work for this scenario. 

In order to support such URLs, you should implement your own Image Content Provider that achieves your needs and fits the application's requirements.

Hello Lanko,

 Thanks for your reply.

I tried Image Content Provider but did not get any success. Please provide an example, How to Implement Image Content Provider.

Thanks

Hi Vikram,

I am sorry for misleading you on that. 

It appears that the source to the image is always processed via the Control.MapPathSecure method. And thus, no mater what result the LoadImage returns, the MapPathSecure method always throws an exception for such URLs. 

It seems to me that this is an entirely non-supported scenario. I can also suggest you to put this as a feature request in our public portal—http://feedback.telerik.com/Project/108/.

Alternative solution is to always download the file on the server and loading it properly before loading RadImageEditor:

protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
    string imageUrl = RadImageEditor1.ImageUrl;

    using (WebClient wc = new WebClient())
    {
        wc.DownloadFile(imageUrl, Server.MapPath("~/Images/image.jpg"));
    }

    RadImageEditor1.ImageUrl = "~/Images/image.jpg";

    base.OnInit(e);
}

Of course, this process should be further updated so that the file is saved with the proper extension.
