Question: Working on Browsers not supporting XHR (IE) ? about s3_direct_upload

[gottfrois]

While waiting for an answer, I actually implement your gem in a new project. It seems to work with IE8, no JS errors but it's actually not saving the file on my S3 account... (working on Chrome)

And when the gem give me my image url back, I hit a 403 access denied since it does not exists on S3.

Any idea ?

+1 to this, I am not able to upload files using IE9,
however I have tried the gem jquery-fileupload-rails in an example( https://github.com/tors/jquery-fileupload-rails-paperclip-example ) and it works well in IE9,
s3_direct_upload uses jquery-fileupload-rails so I don't know why its not working, I will research further and let you know

[gottfrois]

jquery-fileupload is using the iFrame Transport plugin to send files on browsers that don't support XHR requests. s3_direct_upload don't use the iFrame method.

I actually made s3_direct_upload working for IE6+. I can put my demo rails app somewhere if this helps.
