Cloud API with JavaScript (Amazon, Azure)
I'm researching a possibility of using some cloud storage directly from client-side JavaScript. However, I ran into two problems:
Security - the architecture is usually build on per cloud client basis, so there is one API key (for example). This is problematic, since I need a security per my user. I can't give the same API key to all my users.
Cross-domain AJAX. There are HTTP headers that browsers can use to be able to do cross domain requests, but this means that I would have to be able to set them on the cloud-side. But, the only thing I need for this to work is to be able to add a custom HTTP response header: Access-Control-Allow-Origin: otherdomain.com.
My scenario involves a lots of simple queue messages from JS client and I thought I would use cloud to get rid of this traffic from my main hosting provider. Windows Azure has this Queue Service part, which seems quite near to what I need, except that I don't know if these problems can be solved.
Any thoughts? It seems to me that JavaScript clients for cloud services are unavoidable scenarios in the near future.
So, is there some cloud storage with REST API that offers management of clients' authentication and does not give the API key to them?
