I want to upload a video direct to Youtube from my server for which I am using PHP curl.
I need this request format:
POST /feeds/api/users/default/uploads HTTP/1.1
Host: uploads.gdata.youtube.com
Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN
GData-Version: 2
X-GData-Key: key=adf15ee97731bca89da876c...a8dc
Slug: video-test.mp4
Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="f93dcbA3"
Content-Length: 1941255
Connection: close
--f93dcbA3
Content-Type: application/atom+xml; charset=UTF-8
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"

<media:description type="plain">
I gave a bad toast at my friend's wedding.
</media:description>
<media:category

</media:group>
</entry>
--f93dcbA3
Content-Type: video/mp4
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
<Binary File Data>
--f93dcbA3--
This is what I have:
$content = $this->buildRequestContent();
$ch = curl_init();
$curlConfig = array(
CURLOPT_URL => 'http://uploads.gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/default/uploads',
CURLOPT_POST => true,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $content,
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
"Authorization" => sprintf("GoogleLogin auth=%s", $this->accessToken),
"GData-Version" => 2,
"X-GData-Key" => sprintf("key=%s", $this->developerKey),
"Slug" => sprintf("%s", $this->video->getFilename()),
"Content-Type" => sprintf("multipart/related; boundary=\"%s\"", $this->boundaryString),
"Content-Length" => strlen($content),
"Connection" => "close"
),
);
curl_setopt_array($ch, $curlConfig);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
Dumping the result shows me that curl changed the Content-Type
to application/x-www-form-urlencoded
which is of course not supported by youtube.
I put my binary content (the video) into CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS
, maybe this is wrong, but I don't know how to set the request body other than that.
So how do I preserve my Content-Type that I set?
Accepted answer was not helpful for me and I found another problem in your code. According to the current PHP documentation CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER must be set like this:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-type: text/plain',
'Content-length: 100'
));
It must be a list of strings, not a hash like array('Content-Type' => 'text/plain')
.
Hope it will save someone's debugging time.
