Hi Eric and pharington, I'm not certain what you mean by "upload an image" and I don't mean an upload from the user's own harddisk as with an edit box for the path etc.
So to clarify: rather I supply the user with a form that has an 'img' tag to an image on another site and which the user can see (rendered). If the user submits the form I get the server to itself fetch the image from the other server but I am exploring the possibility of directly uploading what is in the client's browser to my rails server avoiding that second fetch from the other server. It won't save my rails server bandwidth but it will save the other server. I suspect you've already answered my question with the 'javascript security' mention, but I'm not sure. Am I'm stumbling over the cross-site restrictions, irrespective of javascript, and that there is no way of doing this?
