    copied!<p>I'm trying to direct upload a video to Youtube via the <a href="https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_direct_uploading" rel="nofollow">Youtube API</a>. I can't figure out where the problem is...is it my request URL syntax? Is there something wrong with the way I'm adding the video file to the body? (I'm using MKNetworkkit as my request engine.)</p> <p>Here is my code:</p> <pre><code> //********************************************************* //* Setup the request URL and params //********************************************************* NSString *baseUrl = @"http://uploads.gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/default/uploads"; NSString *_accessToken = // the google API access token NSString *xml = @"&lt;?xml version='1.0'&gt;" "&lt;entry xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'" "xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/'" "xmlns:yt='http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007'/&gt;" "&lt;media:group&gt;" "&lt;media:title type='plain'&gt;My Video Title&lt;/media:title&gt;" "&lt;media:description type='plain'&gt;" "This is a test video.
