========================
django-storages-s3upload
Direct (client-side) HTTP POST file upload to S3 using Django forms/views.
This project is under development, and so should be used in production
environments with a high degree of caution.
Docs: http://django-storages-s3upload.readthedocs.org/
Please be VERY careful with security considerations, and check you know
exactly what is happening. S3 HTTP POST upload will overwrite existing files if
the key matches. You will want to limit uploads to trusted users, and use
unique key prefixes. You will want to make sure that any processing of uploaded
files is safe.
