Direct upload

Direct upload to S3
Just need a directUpload: true option
Also solves the problem when the file is large and it takes longer than 35 seconds to upload it because of the heartbeatInterval

Template. MyTemplate.helpers
  forProfilePic: ->
    directUpload: true

CORS Permissions

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CORSConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
   <CORSRule>
        <AllowedOrigin>*</AllowedOrigin>
        <AllowedMethod>GET</AllowedMethod>
        <AllowedMethod>POST</AllowedMethod>
        <AllowedMethod>PUT</AllowedMethod>
        <AllowedHeader>*</AllowedHeader>
    </CORSRule>
</CORSConfiguration>

This tells S3 to allow any domain access to the bucket and that requests can contain any headers,
which is generally fine for testing. When deploying, you should change the ‘AllowedOrigin’
to only accept requests from your domain.

Could be problems with SSL with VirtualHosted configuration, but I created an issue to make it work with CNAME record

Oh, interesting, so this uploads directly from the client into s3?

@queso Yes, it has some problems with SSL, but it's very easy to solve.
