Can you please attach a net-internals log, as described at https://dev.chromium.org/for-testers/providing-network-details

fwiw, a work around it request an `arraybuffer` instead of a `blob`.

var xhr = new window.XMLHttpRequest();
var url = 'https://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery/1.webp';
xhr.open('GET', url);
xhr.responseType = 'arraybuffer';
xhr.onload = function(event) {
  var blob = new Blob([this.response], {type: 'image/webp'});
  var img = document.createElement('img');
  img.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
  document.body.appendChild(img);
}
xhr.send();

Apologies, but I'm not authorized to release the network details on this workstation.

Is there any output on the devtools console other than

VM120:8 GET https://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery/1.webp net::ERR_FAILED

?

In my environment, running the script on the devtools console attached to https://www.gstatic.com/ works (i.e., xhr.response returns a blob).

I'll check with an administrator if it's possible to pull a net-internals log for this.

I also haven't been able to reproduce on my Macbook so seems windows specific.

Doesn't reproduce on 53.0.2761.0 (Official Build) canary (64 bit) on Windows 7.

No error seen. I also confirmed that it renders by creating an img element as the comment #2 did.

It seems something is wrong in blob downloading path.

var xhr = new window.XMLHttpRequest();
var url = 'https://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery/1.webp';
xhr.open('GET', url);
xhr.responseType = 'blob';
xhr.onload = function(event) {
  var img = document.createElement('img');
  img.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(this.response);
  document.body.appendChild(img);
}
xhr.send();

Thank you for providing more feedback. Adding requester "rsleevi@chromium.org" for another review and adding "Needs-Review" label for tracking.

The code on comment 7 works also on 51.0.2704.103 and 51.0.2704.106.

vicapowell39@: Does this still reproduce on your Windows machine? Does the resource get loaded in any other way e.g. viewing the image, <img> element for the image, etc.?
