Topic: Development / Authentication problem

I’m trying to get this service working with a site I’ve developed in vbscript/classic asp and am experiencing some problems. The code which I am trying to post a video using is as follows:

<% Response.Buffer = True

Dim objXMLHTTP, xml

Set xml = Server.CreateObject(“Microsoft.XMLHTTP”)

xml.Open “POST”, “http://heywatch.com/discover”, False

xml.Send “key=XXXXXXX&url=http://www.mydomain.com/video/raw/video.avi&download=true&title=Test&automatic_encode=true”

Response.Write xml.responseText

Set xml = Nothing %>

All I am getting as a response from the server is a copy of the login page at http://heywatch.com/auth. Why is this, when I’ve entered the correct key into my POST? Is there something else I need to pass into the script?

I did read that I need to first be authenticated by Basic Auth, but I can’t find a way to do this from within vbscript. Any pointers?

Topic: Issues / Upload by email?

Looks like it’s still not working …. if I upload the same file as I’ve emailed via the website it encodes fine, so there still seems to be a problem.

Hi!

We encoutered the following problems encoding your video: FileNotFound

Check the FAQ to see if you find a solution.

Topic: Issues / Upload by email?

I’ve setup upload by email on my Hey!Watch account, and have set a default encoding format, yet having emailed around half a dozen different video clips of varying sizes and formats to the address, none have encoded. Could there be anything else I’m missing, or does it take a while for upload by email clips to be processed?

Also, is there any information stored alongside the uploaded clip to identify where it has originated from? ie, if I wanted 2 or 3 users to be able to upload to the one Hey!Watch account for processing, how can I attribute clips to users?
