CDN on Amazon S3 or CloudFront and Cross Domain Ajax. How?

Question

JavaScript

The task is simple: use Amazon disks for uploading and uploading files. The question is how to properly configure Amazon for these purposes? To simply pull files through $.ajax(...) . Are there any solutions without crutches like iframe etc.? The last solution was a proxy on nginx, but this is an additional transfer of traffic through the application. Please help.

Answer 1

It doesn't work on Amazon yet. You can look at the numerous threads on their forum, in particular forums.aws.amazon.com/message.jspa?messageID=310916
But looking at alternatives, Rackspace's Cloud Files seems to support the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, which and will solve the problem.

Cross Site Scripting. Nothing better than a proxy (in its various manifestations) was invented
