Juiced and Zapier have accomplished this using the relevant Amazon API from third servers. Doing the same within the browser has additional constraints. Alsom, Amazon's API has much more sophisticated authentication process beyond simply supplying login credentials or an access token.
Amazon's API documentation provides a utility to help you create a web based form to POST a file upload:

You need to specify the (1) bucketname, (2) AWS ID, (3) AWS Key, and (4) digitally signed Policy Document. The above utility asks for you AWS Key but it is only used to digitally sign the Policy Document.
I happen to teach cryptology so I am very familiar with the this technology. By coincidence we have a local Amazon Meetup that coincidentally meets this coming Thursday where I can ask specific question about Amazon's API if necessary.
