Uploading on Youtube via HTTP Post
- by sajid.nizami
I am following the steps provided on this link
[http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_dotnet.html#Browser_based_Upload][1]
Whenever I try to upload anything using this method, I get a HTTP 400 error saying that the next_url is not provided. Code is pretty simple and is a copy of Google's own code.
