I am trying to convert a HTML string into a .PNG file. Thanks to Nick Johnson who pointed me to GAE Conversion API see previous post Here.
I use the GAE Conversion API
which works but my images in my HTML string doesn’t display.
In the Documentation on GAE Conversion API there is a reference to Adding Assets and a mention of static/icon.gif which I think may address my problem but that documentation is incomplete.
Can anyone please assist?
My HTML conversion to .PNG works but all images e.g
<img src="http://mydomain.com/image.gif> doesn’t print yet http://mydomain.com/image.gif is available.
Thanks
PB
Update 1:
According to the documentation, I should create seperate asset for each image and name must match the src attr.
List<Asset>assets = new ArrayList<Asset>();
try {
Asset asset = new Asset("text/html", notification.getMessage().getBytes("UTF-8"), "testfile.html");
assets.add(asset);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
winningNumbers is just a number, expecting 5 0r 6 numbers
for (String n : winningNumbers) {
String url = "http://www.someURL.com/img/balls/" + n +".gif";
Asset e = new Asset("image/gif", loadGIFByte(url), url);
assets.add(e);
}
Document document = new Document(assets);
//Here I want to convert everything, the images and html to a .PNG MIMETYPE.
Conversion conversion = new Conversion(document, "image/png");
ConversionService service = ConversionServiceFactory.getConversionService();
ConversionResult conversionResult = service.convert(conversion);
private byte[] loadGIFByte(String urlGIF) {
System.out.println("Loading GIF for "+ urlGIF);
OutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[1536];
int count = 0;
try {
URL u = new URL(urlGIF);
InputStream reader = u.openStream();
while ((count = reader.read(buf)) >= 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, count);
}
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return buf;
}
}
Update 2:
A typical notification.getMessage() should return;

Some Feedback.
No difference in result. I guess return out.toByteArray() solved NPE which I accidentally caused.
The expected result is below: The same HTML string sent as email yields:
GAE conversion result is:
The documentation says that the name of the asset should match the src attribute of the img tag.
Here is a python code I tried in the interactive console, and it actually produced the two images
