# FineUploader With Wasabi

Note: Currently, FineUploader does not work with Wasabi and throws the following error while uploading a file - Invalid according to Policy: Policy Condition failed: [“eq”, “$Content-Type”, “image\/png”]

This is because Wasabi currently does not handle CORS exactly as Amazon does. It is a future enhancement under consideration.

[FineUploader](https://fineuploader.com/) is a JavaScript library for client-side uploads, supporting advanced features like concurrent chunking and direct uploads to S3.

This example uses the FineUploader's php-s3-server to handle signature, delete, etc., endpoint requests from FineUploader S3. The package name is `fineuploader/php-s3-server. `There are various other ways to upload files to S3 using FineUploader, so you can also choose other options.

Example code can be found at this location: [fineuploader-example.zip](https://support.bluebillywig.com/sites/support.bluebillywig.com/files/fineuploader-example.zip). Download the source.
