Bug Description

Description of problem:
=======================
Using glance via CLI, a user may choose to use --location attribute.
Explanation about this important flag (taken from 'glance help image-create'):

--location <IMAGE_URL> URL where the data for this image already resides. For example,
           if the image data is stored in the filesystem local to the glance server at
           '/usr/share/image.tar.gz', you would specify 'file:///usr/share/image.tar.gz'.

Example of usage via CLI:
glance image-create --name=F17_1 --disk-format=qcow2 --container-format=bare --location=http://berrange.fedorapeople.org/images/2012-11-15/f17-x86_64-openstack-sda.qcow2 --is-public=true

This option is absent from horizon "Create Image" screen, and in my opinion its important that it will be present, for example: in a form of a check box.

Version-Release: Folsom
Horizon Version: python-django-horizon-2012.2.1-2
How reproducible: Irrelevant (RFE)

Hi Nir,

Can you recheck? I'm looking at the Folsom dashboard and I can see the "Image Location" field. At the moment using a remote URL is the only way to upload a clean image through the dashboard (i.e., there's no support for local file uploads, but that's planned for Grizzly).
