Upload via API

[Ross]

I'm trying to upload via the API, and unfortunately all the powerpoint
files I upload fail the conversion process. Uploading the same file
via the web interface succeeds, and no error messages are thrown
during the upload, so either something I am doing is corrupting the
file, or the API has some sort of incompatibility with what I'm
doing.

The basic of what I'm doing (a little code removed) is the following:

$req = new HTTP_Request();

$req->setMethod(HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD_POST);
$req->setURL($uploadURL);

//add all the necessary info

$req->addFile("slideshow_srcfile", "Reactor.ppt");

$req->sendRequest() or die;
$responseBody = $req->getResponseBody();

//process the response

The response contains a valid ID, and getting info on that ID works
fine, and then eventually the upload status of the uploaded file
becomes failed. Any ideas?

I've been working with Ross on this and I'm having the same problem,
but with a simple "curl" command instead of the PHP code. I threw
together a little shell script that seems to be making valid requests,
but again the uploads are failing:

http://tlrobinson.net/misc/slideshare.sh.txt (need to fill in key,
secret, username, and password)

Additionally, it doesn't list any of the presentations I successfully
uploaded via the web (which *do* show up on my profile) but other
usernames do work.

Also, it gives me a "Failed User authentication" message for any
account other than the one we registered our API key with.

Thanks.

I hope both your concerns have been addressed and the conversion goes
through properly now. The API key account has also been decoupled from
the Slideshare account specified with the username/password
combination.
