Open Stack

Hi
            in nova/api/openstack/compute/views/images.py, there is a
function returns alternate links which contains project_id
            However, I didn't see any info in glance API V2 spec
            Can any one help me on :

1) what's the purpose of alternate link? can I remove the project_id? maybe
backward compatible issue?
2) if #1 's answer is negative, should we add a image api under nova/image/
to also generate a link with project_id?

             Thanks

def _get_alternate_link(self, request, identifier):
        """Create an alternate link for a specific image id."""
        glance_url = glance.generate_glance_url()
        glance_url = self._update_glance_link_prefix(glance_url)
        return '/'.join([glance_url,
                         request.environ["nova.context"].project_id, <---
this is the line which add project_id
                         self._collection_name,
                         str(identifier)])

Best Regards!
