[YouTube-API] Re: Uploading from browser

I've also tried to do it by just Javascript, but I get nothing in
response:

function getXMLHttpRequestObject()
{
var xmlhttp;
if (!xmlhttp && typeof XMLHttpRequest != 'undefined') {
try {
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
} catch (e) {
xmlhttp = false;
}
}
return xmlhttp;
}
var http = new getXMLHttpRequestObject();
var url = "http://gdata.youtube.com/action/GetUploadToken";
var sendXML = '<?xml version="1.0"?><entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/
2005/Atom"'+
'xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/'+
'xmlns:yt="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007">'+
'<media:group><media:title type="plain">Bad Wedding Toast</
media:title>'+
'<media:description type="plain">I gave a bad toast at my friend's
wedding.</media:description>'+
'<media:category scheme="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007/
categories.cat">People</media:category>'+
'<media:keywords>toast, wedding</media:keywords></media:group></
entry>';
http.open("POST", url, true);
http.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "AuthSub
token="+<access_token>);
http.setRequestHeader("X-GData-Key", "key="+<dev_key>);
http.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/atom+xml;
charset=UTF-8");
http.setRequestHeader("Content-Length", sendXML.length);
http.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");

http.onreadystatechange = function() {
if(http.readyState == 4) {
alert(http.responseXML);
}
}
http.send(sendXML);
