Since Queens, Glance has had a 'web-download' import method that takes a
URL [0].  It's enabled by default, but operators do have the ability to
turn it off.  (There's an API call to see what methods are enabled in a
particular cloud.)  Operators also have the ability to restrict what URLs
are acceptable [1], but that's probably a good thing.

In short, Glance does have the ability to do what you need since Queens,
but there's no guarantee that it will be available in all clouds and for
all URLs.  If you foresee that as a problem, it would be a good idea to get
together with the Glance team at the PTG to discuss this issue.  Please add
it as a topic to the Glance PTG planning etherpad [3] as soon as you can.

cheers,
brian
