You mean to load files off the management server, yea? That makes sense to me

How 'bout specifying a "drop folder" type location on the mgmt server that the server polls every 15 seconds for new files, then in the UI the user can pick from the files shown there? Not as secure as your browser upload pattern, though. Maybe use something like https://github.com/blueimp/jquery-file-upload that allows resumable uploads? Just had the thought of maybe adding support for dropbox/box.net/etc<http://box.net/etc>. At that point, an ImageFetch plugin hook starts to sound interesting. Adding a bit torrent plugin could make getting the default templates quite snappy. :) On Feb 19, 2014, at 2:12 PM, Chiradeep Vittal <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi all, The fact that one has to have a HTTP server to host templates before the templates can be imported into secondary storage is an inconvenience. I am not sure how much of an inconvenience it is, but I was asked to detail the technical architecture, if it needed to be supported. Certainly, I can imagine for folks coming in contact with ACS for the first time, it might seem onerous to set up another web server. I've sketched a strawman proposal [1] to support browser-based uploads of templates and volumes to secondary storage. It is not yet a PROPOSAL since it is still raw (and I do not have time to work on this immediately). Please comment on this.
