Hi Matt,

I'm quite happy to read the above. Just to make sure...

Can you confirm that Glance + Python 3 + uwsgi with SSL will work using
the below setup?

using:
- RBD backend
- swift backend
- swift+rgw

If so, then I'll probably end up pushing for such uwsgi setup.

If I understand you correctly, it wont work with Apache mod_wsgi,
because of these chcked transfer encoding, which is what made if fail
when I tried using the RBD backend. Right?

Do I need to backport these patches to Queens to run Glance the way I
described? Will it also fix running Glance with mod_wsgi?
