Upload Image via REST > Cross-origin request? Format for image data (base64 or binary)?

Hi Community,

Some questions from Customer ... appreciate your help.

 

Thanks!

--Jason

 

Q1: Cross-Origin Request - what's the meaning?

Here’s our test form: 

<form action="http://community.dev04.commsec-it.cba/restapi/vc/users/login/sergey/media/albums/default/public/images/upload" method="post">

    <input type="hidden" name="image.content" id="image.content" value="<-- base 64 encoded data goes here -->" />

    <input type="submit" value="submit" />

</form>

 

And we’re getting the following error from the server:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>

<response status="error">

  <error code="307">

    <message>

      Invalid Cross-Origin Request. Request origin: &apos;http://demo.dev04.commsec-it.cba&apos; contains no matching allowed origin(s).

    </message>

  </error>

</response>

 I thought commsec-it.cba domain was whitelisted for all operations so I don’t quite understand why we’re getting this error.

 

Q2: Can you please confirm with your development team in what format should we upload the image data. Is it base64 ? binary ?

    Hi JasonL,

     

    Hopefully these will answer your questions:

     

    Q1: Cross-Origion Request errors are sent when you try to make an AJAX request (XMLHttpRequest) from a different domain than either the server domain or one of the domains Lithium has configured your site to allow cross-origin requests from.  Please contact support to have additional domains added to the list of allowed domains.

     

    Q2: The upload should be made as an HTTP POST using multipart/form-data encoding -- like this:

     

    <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
