Can anyone please help me before I go crazy?

I have been searching for any documentation/sample-code (in JavaScript) for uploading files to S3 via CloudFront but I can't find a proper guide.

I know I could use Tranfer Acceleration feature for faster uploads and yeah, Transfer Acceleration essentially does the job through CloudFront Edge Points but as long as I searched, it is possible to make the POST/PUT request via AWS.CloudFront...

Also read an article posted in 2013 says that AWS just added a functionality to make POST/PUT requests but says not a single thing about how to do it!?

CloudFront documentation for JavaScript sucks, it does not even show any sample codes. All they do is assuming that we already know all the things about the subject. If I knew, why would I dive into documentation in the first place.

I believe there is some confusion here about adding these requests. This feature was added simply to allow POST/PUT requests to be supported for your origin so that functionality in your application such as form submissions or API requests would now function.

The recommended approach as you pointed out is to make use of S3 transfer acceleration, which actually makes use of the CloudFront edge locations.

Transfer Acceleration takes advantage of Amazon CloudFront’s globally distributed edge locations. As the data arrives at an edge location, data is routed to Amazon S3 over an optimized network path.
