Has failed to upload every time I have tried since installing a few days ago.

Currently facing the same issue on Ubuntu 19.04. Tried to install Asciinema via apt, Snap and Pip...

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 19.04
Release:	19.04
Codename:	disco

$ uname -a
Linux laptop 5.0.0-15-generic #16-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 6 17:41:33 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ asciinema --version
asciinema 2.0.2

Edit: works fine on Ubuntu 18.04!

Fix: upload via Curl

@sickill uploaded a gist that shows how to upload a recording via curl:

asciinema rec demo.cast
curl -v -u $USER:$(cat ~/.config/asciinema/install-id) https://asciinema.org/api/asciicasts -F asciicast=@demo.cast
