Flow Chart for the upload/resume functionality

. The uploadOrResume functions only work from clients that have access to the file system, or those that can seek

to a certain position in the file. In case of a broken upload, clients can start uploading from a later position in the file.

. The UploadOrResume functions allows you to resume a broken video upload due to a bad data connection, thus saving the user from

re-uploading the entire file again.

. Before making the uploadOrResume, or uploadOrResumeAndPost calls, you need to first get a media_id by calling getId

. Save that ID in memory or file system in case the upload fails

. If the call to uploadOrResume, or uploadOrResumeAndPost fails, make a call getLastByte to get the latest valid

byte offset that TwitVid received

. In your local client, seek to the position returned by getLastByte.

. Make a call to uploadOrResume, or uploadOrResumeAndPost, with the file data beginning at the byte returned by getLastByte

and passing in the media_id returned by getId
