  1. POBrowser-Based YouTube Upload in Firefox 16 Aborts Unexpectedly
    text
    copied!<p>I have a regular YouTube browser-based upload form, as shown below. It works great in IE, Chrome, and older versions of Firefox. However, my Firefox 16.0.2, just hangs on the POST. I have replicated the problem on other computers with Firefox 16.x.</p> <p>The file uploads correctly if I manually override the SSL by changing YouTube's URL from: <em><strong>https</strong>://uploads.gdata.youtube.com</em> to <em><strong>http</strong>://uploads.gdata.youtube.com</em>.</p> <p>To make things even stranger, the request is not logged at all on the <em>Net</em> tab in Firebug. On Firefox's <em>Web Console</em>, I can see the request, but the response and status code is totally missing. Then, if I use Fiddler with the <em>Decrypt HTTPS traffic</em> option enabled the file uploads correctly.</p> <p>Anyone have any ideas what could be going on or how to monitor the SSL traffic without <em>fixing</em> the problem?</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;YouTube Test&lt;/title&gt;&lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;form id="frmYouTube" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="https://uploads.gdata.youtube.com/action/FormDataUpload/YOU_TUBE_URL?nexturl=https%3a%2f%2fMY.DOMAIN.COM%2fDIR_1%2fDIR_2%3fid2%3dLOCAL_ID"&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="file" name="file" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="token" value="MY_YOUTUBE_TOKEN" /&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Upload" /&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>The YouTube url and token are generated on the backend using ASP.Net with the Google.GData.YouTube library. Here is part of that code:</p> <pre><code>public class BaseModel { public string SITE_YOUTUBE_APP_NAME = ""; public string SITE_YOUTUBE_DEV_KEY = ""; public string SITE_YOUTUBE_USERNAME = ""; public string SITE_YOUTUBE_PASSWORD = ""; public string YOUTUBE_CATEGORY = ""; public FormUploadToken FormToken; public void Load() { YouTubeRequestSettings settings = new YouTubeRequestSettings( SITE_YOUTUBE_APP_NAME, SITE_YOUTUBE_DEV_KEY, SITE_YOUTUBE_USERNAME, SITE_YOUTUBE_PASSWORD); YouTubeRequest request = new YouTubeRequest(settings); Video newVideo = new Video(); string title = "Test Title"; string description = "Test Description"; newVideo.Title = title; newVideo.Tags.Add(new MediaCategory(YOUTUBE_CATEGORY, YouTubeNameTable.CategorySchema)); newVideo.Keywords = "test"; newVideo.Description = description; newVideo.YouTubeEntry.Private = false; FormToken = request.CreateFormUploadToken(newVideo); } } </code></pre>
