loadImage.parseMetaData with URL does not read EXIF #62

I am trying to use your library to properly rotate images taken on a mobile device when displayed on a desktop web browser. When I pass the URL to the image into the loadImage.parseMetaData function, it does not get the EXIF data. Am I doing it wrong, or is this not supposed to work?

The parseMetaData method only accepts an object of type File or Blob, not a URL: https://github.com/blueimp/JavaScript-Load-Image#meta-data-parsing

First line of Description in the README.md of this fine package says

JavaScript Load Image is a library to load images provided as File or Blob objects or via URL.

Hence my confusion.

blueimp commented 10 years ago

That's for the loadImage function, not the additional parseMetaData function.

Got it, thanks.
