Unable to upload more than 10MB

When using the example code for uploading videos to youtube using the api (https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/insert) i’m getting the following error for all videos over 10MB:

The API returned an error:  Error: Request body larger than maxBodyLength limit

~I was able to fix this by editing https://github.com/olalonde/follow-redirects/blob/master/index.js#L226 of the follow-redirects module to something bigger as this is stopping all bigger requestbodys and therefor stop the uploading of most videos.~

Edit: A better way to fix this is to install Version 1.2.6 of follow-redirect as this is the newest version without this new “feature”.

Thank you @JustinBeckwith for fixing this by raising the default of maxContentLength in #1016 !

In the meantime for anyone else waiting for this fix to land in a release, the workaround that @condorman proposed above works a treat. Or if you’d prefer:

google.options({ maxContentLength: (100 * 1024 * 1024) });

Another way to prevent this issue from happening is to install Version 1.2.6 of follow-redirect as this is the newest version without this new “feature”.
