You can do that, but my understanding is you can't get the browser to attach cookies to your request in this way, while you can with forms. Do you agree?
replyI haven't actually investigated that (and I'm not able to do so right now), so I couldn't tell you for sure.
replyIf that's the case, then yes, the forms method would be 'better'.

replyInteresting. Is this still sent as a "safe" request though or does it trigger a preflight request etc?
replyIf it was one of the requests that would trigger a preflight normally, then yes, it would trigger a preflight. But the code as shown doesn't do that because "multipart/form-data" is one of the allowed MIME types that can bypass these preflights.
