In June 2013 I used the following code to upload to a picasa album.
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array( $curl,
array( CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST'
, CURLOPT_URL => 'https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/...'
, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array( 'Content-Type: image/jpeg'
, 'Content-Length: '.$lengthOfRawJpgData
, 'Slug: '.$imageTitle
, 'GData-Version: 2'
, 'Authorization: Bearer '.$myAccessToken )
, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $rawJpgData
, CURLOPT_REFERER => $theUrlOfThisScript
, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1
) );
$response = curl_exec($curl);
The result when viewed by a url like:
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/.../s0/myImageTitle.jpg
is a 334px x 450px JPEG image that is 102KB
If I repeat this process today (Oct.2013) uploading the same binary image
with the same source code then the result when viewed by a url like:
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/.../s0/myImageTitle.jpg
is a 334px x 450px JPEG image that is 48KB
I conclude that the picasa api is automatically compressing the image
during the upload.

These urls indicate that the default upload is now "standard size" and that
"full size" uploads are only supported by the desktop clients.
https://developers.google.com/picasa-web/docs/2.0/developers_guide_protocol
The latest protocol guide doesn't indicate any flag to select "standard
size" or "full size" during upload
Can anyone confirm/deny my observations?
Does anyone know how to upload at "full size" via the picasaweb api?
Thanks.
