Min Chen created CLOUDSTACK-6940:
------------------------------------
Summary: Templates cannot be downloaded from URLs without matching
file extensions
Key: CLOUDSTACK-6940
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6940
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: Storage Controller
Affects Versions: 4.2.1
Reporter: Min Chen
Assignee: Min Chen
Fix For: 4.5.0
When registering templates with CloudStack, it is necessary to provide a URL
from which the template can be downloaded.
CloudStack validates the format of these URLs, but it does so quite
aggressively, sometimes rejecting URLs that are perfectly valid.
In particular, CloudStack expects and requires the URL to carry a file
extension that matches the expected template, eg. ".vhd" or ".vhd.gz". If the
URL doesn't have such an extension, it will be rejected, even if it is a
perfectly valid URL from which a VHD can be downloaded.
