[Kimchi-devel] [RFC] upload ISO to OOTB pool

[Royce Lv]

1. Backend:
     (1)API definition:
     POST /storagepools/isos/storagevolumes/upload {'file': fileobject} 
-- This is from backend view, as cherrypy's embedded support wraps 
fileobject.
     
REF:http://docs.cherrypy.org/en/latest/pkg/cherrypy.tutorial.html?highlight=upload

    (2) implementation:
         We can get the file handler from cherrypy's embedded scheme, 
and use it to read and write to a local file, ref:

        The only thing we need to concern at backend is the file size, 
cherrypy demo has proposed a example leverage cgi lib:

2.  For UI, we need to supply user with a form which input type is 
'file', or we construct formdata in ajax(for IE only supported in IE10+):

3. To support the progress bar in UI, we can utilize resumable js:
