[YouTube-API] Re: Memory Problems (CodeIgniter PHP)

Hello,

It's not possible to give the YouTube API a URL pointing to a file.
You need to include the file's contents in the HTTP request.

I don't have any insight as to what the CodeIgniter library is doing,
but it's a) open source, so you could take a look at the code and b)
the maintainer of the library does read this Google Group, so you
might hear from him.

Cheers,
