[Openstack] Adding a Glance image via API without POSTing the image data?

Hello all,

The Horizon team is looking at adding a first-pass implementation of image upload before the Essex release, and we'd really like to bypass the problems associated with, say, passing a 700MB Ubuntu image through the user's browser to a web server and then across to Glance...

So the question is this: is there a way to add an image to Glance via the API *without* passing the image data in via the POST body? Options might include specifying a Swift object for the image, or a download URL...

Thanks!
