CORS issue when uploading via browser

[gevera]

Is there an example of how to upload images via regular form data ?

I've been trying to use pictashare, hoewver getting errors when uploading

Access has been blocked from origin by CORS policy

Are you having these problems on the demo page too? https://pictshare.net

or just on your own hosted instance?

[gevera]

I do have the same issur on https://pictshare.net/ and on my own instance of Pictashare in docker.
Just for reference, i can upload images via Insomnia, Curl or Postman, but not from the browser

oh wait you're not using the interface from pictshare, you try to directly upload from another website?

[gevera]

Thats correct. Using the API

[geek-at]

The API is meant to be used by a backend service not a browser since this will always trigger a CORS problem. Better upload from the backend. If you want to upload via the browser, use the built-in upload form of the landing page
