I also send an unencoded XML string a little bit earlier on. Maybe it no longer needs to be a urlencoded string as soon as you add a Content-Type header. Here's what happens when I put the HTTPHandler in debug mode and pass a file in 2.6: send: 'PUT /resumable/feeds/api/users/default/uploads?upload_id=[id]HTTP/1.1\r\nAccept-Encoding: identity\r\nContent-Length: 898801\r\nHost: uploads.gdata.youtube.com\r\nContent-Type: application/octet-stream\r\nConnection: close\r\nUser-Agent: Python-urllib/2.6\r\n\r\n' send: sendIng a read()able A little while later: reply: 'HTTP/1.1 201 Created\r\n' [...etc] So it seems to work just fine, but 2.5 does indeed complain about this being an incorrect use of Request. Moreover, though I can't upgrade my Python from 2.5 I was able to compile another alongside it (latest stable 2.7) and use that with my code, and it worked just fine. Uploaded a 6GB file to Youtube this way. :) Michiel Sikma We Demand HTML http://wedemandhtml.com/ michiel@wedemandhtml.com
