Server Side Upload

[sangyoo91]

I want my meteor server to upload to S3 instead of directly uploading from the client!

Not anymore, although if you sift through the project and look at previous versions there was a point where you could though. There were some bugs where information was sometimes lost though. What are you trying to accomplish?

I want to use imagemagick to create thumbnails, and optimize images. Also, I want to do server side validations!

This may not be the package for you buddy. This is for simple client to S3 uploads. What you are attempting to do shouldn't even happen in your Meteor server (or at least I would strongly suggest against it). Imagemagick is CPU intensive, I'd take that to its own cluster to get dealt with. Also for image manipulation you definitely want to catch the file in your cluster locally before pushing it up to S3. I think you could use lambdas + webtasks to do whatever manipulation you need to do as well.

Anyway, I won't be adding server side uploads to this package, it will be to the new NPM package s3up (still under construction). If you do want to add that to this package I will gladly take PRs.
