You can upload files directly to s3 from your website: http://aws.amazon.com/articles/1434

This only works standalone and not embedded in an AJAX application.

I only wish someone from the S3 team at Amazon would at least answer to this thread:

Hundreds of messages in this thread and no answer after 2 years and counting.

Well, "AJAX application" is too nebulous of a term to really be meaningful here. If you mean you can't use an XHR request, sure, but you can certainly construct the necessary <input> element and POST request dynamically with JavaScript.
