I’ve got an image on a page rendered by Firefox via Webdriver, I can get its object (wd.find_element_by_xpath("id('main')/form/p[5]/img")), but how can I get its body either base64-encoded or just a location on my hard drive?
PS: please don’t suggest getting the src and fetching it with an external tool. I want the image I already have in the browser.

nonein the case of small files cached only in memory. Your only option is parsing the hex dump in this case.Maybe there’s a way to suppress the hex dump if there’s a cache file on the disk, but I’m not sure about it.
