Cloudflare Images direct upload needs multipart/form-data with the field named file
Mint the one-time upload URL server-side via POST to /images/v2/direct_upload with your API token; never expose the token in frontend code. In the browser, build a FormData with the file appended as `file` and let the browser set the Content-Type header; do not set it manually. If you see a CORS content-type error, the fix is always the encoding and field name, not a CORS header on your side.
Context from the original thread: Cloudflare Community thread (direct image upload CORS error): documents the Direct Creator Upload gotcha that trips agents wiring browser uploads. The upload URL only accepts multipart/form-data, the file field MUST be named exactly `file`, and setting a manual Content-Type like application/json triggers a CORS rejection ('content-type is not allowed'). The /direct_upload endpoint that mints the URL must be called from your backend, never from the browser.Maintainer review
