KineticJS: How to make IE9 save canvas as image?

Question

I'm using this snippet to save canvas as image : when I click the button snapshot, id="snap", a new tab in FF (or window, in chrome) is opened and the image is called.

document.getElementById('snap').addEventListener('click', function () {
    stage.toDataURL({
        callback: function call (dataUrl) {
            window.open(dataUrl);
        },
        mimeType: 'image/png',
        quality: 1
    })
});

The problem is that IE9 gives me an error and does not show the file. The error says that there is a software needed to open the file. Honestly, I don't understand this error, what software is Microsoft talking about? If there's any solution or workaround please help.

It appears that there is no solution to do it in full JS in IE curently... A solution is available here, using a php query :

<?php
/**
 * an example URL for viewing a base64-encoded image:
 * http://example.com/decode.php?image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANS...
 */
$data = split(";", $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]);
$type = $data[0];
$data = split(",", $data[1]);
header("Content-type: ".$type);
echo base64_decode($data[1]);
?>
