I'm checking out the HTTP ingest.  Using the rest documentation I did
createMediaPackage first and then when using the REST documentation to
addTrack the file that gets created on the server is 0 bytes.  The response
was 200-OK.  Here's the info from Wireshark.
https://gist.github.com/4674044

The only thing weird that I see is the duration is set to 0, but according
to the documentation duration isn't required.  Would a duration of 0 cause
the file uploaded to be 0 bytes?

The file should be getting uploaded at the time addTrack is called correct?

Thanks,

Shane
