.uploadDataURI
The expected input for .upload() seems to be either: { image: { url: 'http://...' } } or { image: { path: '/path/to/file' } }, with name optionally provided as a property in image.
I'd like to send a data URI straight to the plugin, because that's how I get the data (not via form file upload), and it would reduce my steps from:
HTML5 File API -> socket.emit() -> groups.updateCover() -> generate-md5sum -> save-to-disk -> uploader.uploadImage() -> imgur.upload() -> delete-temporary-file
to...
HTML5 File API -> socket.emit() -> groups.updateCover() -> uploader.uploadImage() -> imgur.upload()
Could continue to overload .upload() to handle data URI, up to you.
I imagine in core, we'd change .uploadImage() to handle data URI's being passed in, although we'd introduce a new hook for Data URI uploads in case the plugins can't handle that.
Bonus points if you manage to do this via Node.js Streams :smile:
Imgur API accepts base64 data
