mithril ajax,javascript - createObjectURL returns undefined - Stack Overflow

My question has been marked as duplicate of this one which has nothing to do. I am trying to use a blob response type and create an URL for it, not to convert my image using base64.

I wanted to replicate the code proposed in this post in mithril.js, here is my version:

var getimage = function() {

m.request({

method: "POST",

url: "http://localhost:8000/",

data: gui,

responseType: "blob",

extract: function(xhr) {return xhr},

})

.then( function(result) {

console.log(result) // displays request

imgSrc = URL.createObjectURL( result.response ); // after this...

// imgSrc is still set to undefined

})

}

My request actually returns a jpeg image, that I can see in the console debugger (request > response), but my variable imgSrc keeps the undefined value.

Here is what the response looks like in my debug console:

so the result.response actually is a binary file (jpeg image), but no blob is being created by the URL.createObjectURL function. I am new to javascript (started yesterday) and am unable to debug.
