Facebook api video.upload requires HTTPS connection

I noticed a very funny error message Facebook API returns when I tried to use CURL to upload video to Facebook as below:

This method requires an HTTPS connection

Based on facebook api doc: developers.facebook.com/docs/ref … deo.upload it wrote that:

Video uploads to Facebook happen on a specific set of servers. When you call video.upload, you need to account for this fact. You must make the video.upload call to http://api-video.facebook.com, and not api.facebook.com. If you call api.faceb开发者_运维问答ook.com, an error gets returned.

Curiously, I tried to change the protocol from HTTP to HTTPS then I got a different error message. This time. it is telling me that the host does not exist.

Could anyone please help?

Here is my php code

Code:

$args = array( 'method' => 'video.upload', 'title' => 'my video', 'description' => 'Test my video upload via API', 'access_token'=> $facebook->getAccessToken(), 'api_key'=>$fbconfig['api'] );

$args["kdVBRO1IU.flv"] = '@'.SITE_PATH.'temp/kdVBRO1IU.flv';

            //echo $args["AtXAI8Pdt.flv"];
            //$statusUpdate = $facebook->api($args);

             $ch = curl_init();  
             $url = 'http://api-video.facebook.com/restserver.php';  
             curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);  
             curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);  
             curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);  
             curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);  
             curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $args);  
             $data = curl_exec($ch);

Thanks for your input BeRecursive, It took me awhile to get it working The URl I used is

http://api-video.facebook.com/facebook.upload.video

Quite strange as I could not find a single document mention about this URL, however, following one of the post on facebook developer forum then I got it.
