I'm also trying a same kind of an approach, my question was also based on
that. I was thinking of invoking Glance API s directly from the UI, not
going through Horizon webserver. Earlier by Horizon I was referring to
the UI only.

Therefore, there is a practical usage of this kind of a feature, isn't it?



 All the best,

Horizon already has what you just described. You can load images into glance by 
providing a URI. It's the Create Image button on the Images table.

[Openstack] Why Image upload functionality is not there in Horizon ?

2012-08-09 Thread Sajith Kariyawasam
Hi all,

After playing around with Openstack Mangement Console, Horizon, I realize
that the image upload functionality is not provided there.

Is there any special reason for that? Is it because there are no Rest
services available at the moment? or else is it felt that providing image
upload via the UI is not practically important?
