Could you please provide insights on the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing POST versus PUT requests for uploading a file to Amazon Web Services S3?
Although I have come across some relevant discussions on platforms like StackOverflow, such as this one, I am interested in understanding the specific variances within the context of AWS API.
While I have successfully employed both methods using AJAX and XMLHTTPRequest objects to enable direct browser uploads with a node.js backend handling signature generation, I have struggled to distinguish significant differences between the two approaches. One distinction that stands out is the inability to regulate content-type and length server-side when generating the signature for PUT requests, although I attribute this limitation to my current learning curve.
