Sorry didn't mean to be cryptic! @picman
I'll explain a little more what I was talking about. I searched but can't find it now, but a few months back I read about a new service where you could send someone a message by only sending them a URL. Example "Hey picman, can you swing by my house and delete browser history and smash my hard drives please? Thanks Bro - chronos" - you type that into a web form and it serves you a url like aa.bb/ccde something very short. Then you just send that url to whoever via whatever means. But the deal was, that message is not stored on a server, it was somehow encoded in the URL.
As I was replying I was reminded of encoding binaries to text, then remembered that service and got me thinking about the video thing. If a video was broken down into a shitload of those URLs (or even an image) then you would not even be technically uploading anything. Just really tiny chunks of binaries in encoded text.
Damn just cannot remember the name of that service.
Is that explanation less cryptic?
Interesting, keep looking. I'll see if I can find it. If that's actually a thing, I'd be interested in looking into it further.
