Upload in Firefox and IE causes "Connection Reset" errors

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Firefox or IE
2. Attempt to upload large videos (80+ MB)
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect for the API to be able to upload the video properly, as it
does in Safari, Chrome, and Opera.  What I see instead (when I expand the
hidden iFrame) is "The connection was reset" in Firefox and "Internet
Explorer cannot display this webpage" in IE.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using the latest build on Windows.

Please provide any additional information below.
As previously mentioned, the upload has never failed in Safari, Chrome, or
Opera.  The sample video I've traditionally used (88 MB) has been uploaded
successfully to our YouTube account through YouTube itself and one time
through our app using Internet Explorer.  A second video (92 MB)
successfully uploaded using Firefox, but failed a second time I've tried. 
Smaller videos don't appear to be affected.

I've noticed this too, just with firefox though, not only this youtube direct, 
lots 
of other google stuff get the same problem with google system trying to 
authenticate 
something.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure that we can do anything about browser-specific 
issues. All YouTube Direct is doing is presenting an HTML form with a file 
element, and that should be submitted by your browser with a standard HTTP 
POST. If that's not working with the latest release of the affected browsers, 
it might be necessary to file a bug against the browser.
