The images from various collections from yale university and affiliated musea are shared with CC0. Could this domain be added to the list of URLs from which direct uploads are allowed?
Here is an example of a cc0 image: https://images.collections.yale.edu/iiif/2/ypm:63b47ceb-6a7a-433e-9daf-dc0263914842/full/!1920,1920/0/default.jpg. The metadata including the license information can be found here: https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/1039196479

I may be able to do this, but I need more examples, as it seems to me that some subdomain of amazonaws.com (such as prd-cds2-image-store-ypm.s3.amazonaws.com) should be allowlisted, rather than images.collections.yale.edu.
Can both be allowlisted? I am asking because your observation is accurate, the URL images.collections.yale.edu are indeed forwarded to prd-cds2-image-store-ypm.s3.amazonaws.com. The issue I am facing is that in the source the image.collections.yale.edu is used, while it is forwarded to an amazon subdomain. So far, to me, it seems impossible to capture the redirect header information in javascript. If it is not possible, allowlisting the amazon subdomain would already be helpful. I can make a separate script that resolves all the primary URLs while I try to find a solution to fetch redirect headers in the upload workflow.

As you can see at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/mediawiki-config/+/759557/, we allowlisted both of them, but 'images.collections.yale.edu' did not work and we had to remove it in another patch: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/mediawiki-config/+/759569/.
