My customer wants to show progress dialog just as user is uploading video on Youtube.
I write something like:
element = document.forms.uploadNewVideoForm.file;
var fd = new FormData();
console.log(element.files);
fd.append('token', $scope.uploadData.token);
fd.append('file', element.files[0]);
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.upload.addEventListener("progress", $scope.uploadProgress, false);
xhr.addEventListener("load", $scope.uploadComplete, false);
xhr.addEventListener("error", $scope.uploadComplete, false);
xhr.addEventListener("abort", $scope.uploadComplete, false);
xhr.open("POST", $scope.uploadData.uploadUrl + '?nexturl=' + encodeURIComponent('http://local.app.com:8000/OK'));
xhr.onreadystatechange = function ( response ) {};
xhr.send(fd);
This code start perfectly, but it fails when Youtube redirects to callback URL.
POST http://uploads.gdata.youtube.com/action/FormDataUpload/<token here>?nexturl=http%3A%2F%2Flocal.app.com%3A8000%2FOK
302 Moved Temporarily
Location: http://local.app.com:8000/OK
Here request interrupts and the error callback is invoked.
Take a look at the following sample (source code). It breaks the upload into two parts:
Unfortunately the upload page doesn't support CORS yet, so this is the best you can do.
