Snippy fails to upload large files to google docs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Snip several large pages i.e
http://www.beyondlogic.org/usbnutshell/usb2.htm
....
http://www.beyondlogic.org/usbnutshell/usb7.htm
2. Attempt to upload to google docs
3. Failed with a 400 bad request

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

Should work; just like it does for smaller snips. Google have a limit on 
upload size?

Is it affecting the Snippy chrome extension, or the SnipBin web
application?

Chrome ext.

On what operating system?

Windows7, latest chrome.

If the problem affects the Snippy chrome extension, which version are you
using?
(to find which version you have installed, open the Extension menu in
Chrome, as explained here:
http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=167997 )

0.3.0

Please provide any additional information below.

I am bothering the write this bug report because Snippy is freakin' awesome 
and incredibly useful.

There might be 2 issues here. First, yes, Google Docs has some limits in terms 
of 
documents you can upload. The upload page from within Google Docs says the 
following:

Convert documents - up to 500 KB per file:
Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx), OpenDocument text (.odt), StarOffice text (.sxw)
Rich text (.rtf), Plain text (.txt), HTML (.htm, .html)

so we might have a fairly low limit.

Also, Snippy is not currently very efficient in composing the snippet to 
upload, and 
there's a lot of wasted space (see issue 10). Once that is fixed, you should be 
able to 
upload bigger contents.

Have you tried uploading to SnipBin? There's a 1Mb limit in there. Clearly not 
the 
same, but if you just want to share/save your snippets and not edit them, it 
might 
do.
