"provide methods for storing images via path/uri (in addition to the POST method provided now)"
My understanding is that right now, in terms of storing images, the API only supports uploading via POST. It makes it very easy to implement a form for uploading images, but you cannot save images using say urllib. For example I cannot grab CC images from Flickr's API for us in my app. Correct?
