Image browser and remote URL's

[JohnVS]

We have been investigating the use of Kendo's Editor in our cloud server environment, but we require an image browser to go with it. The complication is that we are using load balancing, so we don't have one server with one relative path to upload to. We use Azure Storage blob containers to store our users' files, so any URL where files would be located would be remote.

Is there any way to use a remote URL to handle images with the image browser for the Editor?

(if I left out any information you need, please let me know)

Hi John,

The Kendo UI Editor uses internally a Kendo UI Upload for uploading the user images.

In order to support asynchronous upload to a different domain, you need to allow this explicitly on that domain's server. For more information about cross-domain AJAX, please refer to:

The important property to set is Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
