I have to agree with Jay. I'm not sure I understand the value of adding this 
scenario when what we're concerned with is not clouds uploading to other clouds 
(or importing from other clouds) but instead how a cloud's users would import 
data into Glance.

I'd like to understand the needs better before dismissing them out of hand, but 
I'm leaning towards agreeing with Jay.

What you might prefer is a way to get something akin to Swift's TempURL so you 
could give that as a location to your other Glance instance. We don't support 
that though and there doesn't seem any use case that we would like to support 
that would necessitate that.
