I am trying to access images returned from the thumbnail api via javascript in Chrome so that they can be painted on a Canvas. However, I am running into a CORS block due to the fact that the the ytimg server does not provide any CORS response headers - for example - Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Other than creating a proxy in front of youtube image server and standing up my own CDN infrastructure - is there a way to get YouTube CDN so send CORS headers? Possibly a configuration that I am missing?
