Possible to send request directly to Amazon SQS from http (javascript client)?

Question

Is it possible to send a messaging request to Amazon's SQS directly from javascript? I'm trying to create a logging system and would love to bypass sending the request to a middleman server. Also, does anybody know of any alternatives to this solution that I may leverage?

Answer 1

SQS(and as a matter of fact all aws services) expose REST based apis. You can directly make a http request to the SQS REST api through javascript code. The api documentation id given here.

Answer 2

Unless you load your Javascript from the same SQS domain as you're trying to send to then no, due the clients/Javascript Same-Origin Policy you wont be able to cross post to SQS.

Your best bet is to use a middle-man server of your own.
