We have run into a problem where we have images protected by OAuth that we need to use in our gadgets. Usually a for an image would go through the content proxy (gadgets.io.getProxyUrl), but the content proxy cannot do the OAuth dance so we are kind of stuck. One solution would be to request the the binary data for the image, base64 encode it, and put it in the page that way, but there is a 32K limit on the size of the data URL for image tags in IE8, which we have to support, and we are sure we will go over that limit. Has anyone run into this problem? If so how have you gotten around it?
