I tried it in Chrome and found that when uploading a square image it gives me a CORS stating that there is no ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header present (and returns a 206 Status code). I think non square images work because it doesn’t go to Amazon but rather stays in Discourse’s upload directory (well at least that’s what it looks like after watching the network tab).

@codinghorror Sorry to bug you, but any ideas? iirc I read that you’re phasing out the use of Amazon, so is it worth switching back to letting Discourse handle uploads?
