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. [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/jY5cAg
