UploadWizard should not use iframe transport for upload_by_url requests to the wiki-own-API (FlickrUploading)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Original bug title:
UploadWizard should not use iframe transport for upload_by_url requests to the wiki-own-API (FlickrUploading)

Follow-up Bug 65406

There is no reason why UploadWizard uses a complicated iframe technique to send a simple XHR to the API. The XHR has no file attached so, disregarding abstraction, $.post() would do the job in all browsers.

I believe uploads on beta commons are still broken, so can't really test this live, unfortunately.

Gilles moved this task from Ready for testing to Done on the Multimedia board.
