Hi Håvard,

Thanks very much for your comments. Yep, it looks like the issue is that the 'type' attribute is not correct on the file you have uploaded. I'll file a bug and get that resolved.

Currently, there is no public issue tracker for service bugs (ie bugs related to Picasa Web Albums, Calendar, Spreadsheets, etc as opposed to problems with a particular client library). We're discussing how these should be handled -- in the meantime, feel free to post bugs to this group.

Thanks!

-Ryan

Hi Everyone,

A number of new features you have been asking for have been launched and documented.

Nice! This adds to an already nice line-up (I'm particularly excited about the community search). But:

* Uploading non-jpeg photos (bmp, png, gif now supported)

While uploading a non-jpeg works fine, the the server mistakenly identifies the photo as image/jpeg when it is not. I uploaded a PNG. Now look what happened.

This would be fine if the server had converted the file to a jpeg, but it didn't:

$ HEADhttp://lh3.google.com/havard.to/RqLNQzvJt8I/AAAAAAAAAHY/-m8k5PwSP-0/z...|
grep Content-Type Content-Type: image/png

Is there a public issue tracker for this, or does it also go in the gdata-python-client issue tracker?

Take care, Håvard
