Youtube Error: "Unknown authorization header" after a long upload time 4h

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. upload a big file (320mb) in my case a *.flv file 
2. damn slow upload ratio (20kb/s not kbit/s)
3. start jon with "at" command (don't think that this is a problem)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

i started th job at 10 in the morning and recived system mail at 13:56 with rhe 
following content:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? What
version of gdata-python-client (aka python-gdata)?

current version: googlecl-0.9.7.tar.gz
os: openSuse 11.2

Please provide any additional information below.

i tested a *.mov file with about 2mb and it works nice even with a created job.

I have this same issue while trying to upload a 203MB AVI (all my AVI are 
between 200 and 400MB).  I was able to successfully upload a 1.8MB AVI without 
any trouble.  Running from the command line, took about 15 minutes before that 
error was returned.

googlecl 0.9.7

Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS

Python 2.6.5
gdata 2.0.10

Sorry that youtube support hasn't been getting much love lately.

Could everyone apply the attached patch? (Should be good for 0.9.7 and 0.9.8) 
It will make youtube spit out all the details on its requests. Please attach a 
file that contains the output from a failed upload/post command.

(Note: This will make your shell fill up with text pretty quickly, so you may 
want to redirect output to a file from the start. For anyone that doesn't know, 
you can do that by adding `> output_file.txt` to the end of the command you use)

I'm also having this problem when uploading a 412MB movie to youtube. I've 
applied the patch. The output file is 1.2GB, so it's impossible to attach. 

Here are the first lines of output:

Hope this can be fixed soon. I guess it's a timeout problem because the upload 
takes more then 2 hours.

Great! That's really useful. Thanks for dedicating 1.2 GB of your hard drive to 
solving this problem. :)

Can you attach a file that contains the first 100 and last 100 lines of the 
output? I'd like to look at a couple more transmissions.

Original comment by tom.h.mi...@gmail.com on 9 Jul 2010 at 2:40

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The other transmissions are all binary data. I've attached the first and last 
5MB of the log.

Thanks!

This seems like an issue with the library, so I created an issue at 
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/issues/detail?id=408 using the 
data that mrtncls provided.

Please go star the issue and list your OS, gdata version, and anything else 
that seems relevant. Hopefully someone will take notice quickly.

I've filed a new issue here: 
http://code.google.com/a/google.com/p/apps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=2304

This problem seems to extend past the python client library, so that's the 
appropriate place for this issue.

Please post on the new issue with any relevant details you can think of -- 
video size, type of video, OS, whatever. Headers from the initial POST message 
and final server response might help. I've already included the details from 
mrtncls in the issue creation.

Have you tried Allavsoft?
As far as I know, it can directly download YouTube videos to AVI and it also 
can convert already downloaded YouTube videos to AVI.

You may get it at http://www.allavsoft.com/how-to/convert-youtube-to-avi.html
