crossdomain.xml, Amazon S3 and uploading with "uploadify".

[jstrong]

Hey everyone, I would just like to mention that in order for Amazon S3
uploading to work you have to have a crossdomain.xml file (which has
public view permissions obviously) in your Amazon S3 bucket, otherwise
flash gives the infamous security sandbox error.

The only problem is that the sandbox error message is a bit hidden, it
took me a couple of hours to find out what was going on. The only way
I could find the error was by clicking the little "uploading files"
rectangle that appears on the screen (top left-hand side of the folder
list in the Files page).

Maybe this would be worth adding to the integration wiki page?

Thanks,
James.

Good catch James. We'll add that to the doc.

I went ahead and added this to the wiki (it is a wiki after all!). I
hope no one minds.

No problem. Thanks!

Hi

I tried the above changes and added the crossdomain.xml file in my
amazon s3
However, I noticed that when I click upload, the browser looks for
this link:

https://mybucketname.s3.amazonaws.com/crossdomain.xml

However, the default s3 link for this file in my bucket is:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/mybucketname/crossdomain.xml

Is there anything I'm missing?

Thanks
Ismael

Both should work, I think.

At least both of the links you sent me open.

Do you get a Security Sandbox Violation?

Hi

I get a successful upload message from canvas now (using s3) i.e. it
find the crossdomain.xml in my bucket.
The file shows up in the list.
However, when I click on the file, I get a missing key error and also,
the file does not appear in my s3 bucket

Any ideas?

Ismael
