[Solved] Arbitrary URL for async Upload

[Martin]

Hi there,

is there a way to upload files asynchronous to another domain with your upload control?
I thought about something like the following:

@(Html.Telerik().Upload()
.Name("file")
.Async(builder =>
    builder.AutoUpload(true)
    .Save("http://www.anyuploaddestination.com))

But this doesn't work. How could I alternatively solve this?

Thanks for your help!

Hello Martin,

I'm posting the reply to your support ticket here for community reference.


The Upload does not support uploading files to a different domain.

It can technically send files to another domain, but only when the browser supports the File API and the other domain has a configured CORS (an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header at minimum). This rules out IE, Opera and old versions of FF.

But we can't have a feature that does not work in all supported browsers.

I hope this sheds some light on the issue.

Some of us use our own internal routing helpers that add in security context items in the background. For this, we need to be able to specify the url (which would be local), using our own routing methods.

Hello,

If you manage to integrate your helpers as part of the standard MVC routing then you'll be in the clear.

We'll consider adding a SaveUrl option for cases where this is not possible.
