No, you upload the image to a Glance server that has a backing data 
store like filesystem or swift. But the process of doing that (i.e. 
calling `glance image upload`) is the same as what you are describing -- 
it's all just POST'ing some data via HTTP through the Glance API endpoint.

So, I don't understand what allowing the HTTP backend to support add() 
gives the user of Glance.
