Doug, thanks for reaching out here.

I've been looking into the existing task-based-upload that Doug mentions:
can anyone clarify the following?

On a default devstack install you can do this 'task' call:

http://paste.openstack.org/show/462919

as an alternative to the traditional image upload (the bytes are streamed
from the URL).

It's not clear to me if this is just an interesting example of the kind
of operator specific thing you can configure tasks to do, or a real
attempt to define an alternative way to upload images.

The change which added it [1] calls it a 'sample'.

Is it just an example, or is it a second 'official' upload path?
