   ##### SUMMARY
   <!-- Explain the problem/feature briefly -->
   It is not possible to install a template from a URL unless it matches some predefined postfix.
   
   ##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE
   <!--
   For bugs, show exactly how to reproduce the problem, using a minimal test-case. Use Screenshots if accurate.
   
   For new features, show how the feature would be used.
   -->
   
   <!-- Paste example playbooks or commands between quotes below -->
   Try to install a template from the URL https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/bionic/current/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img.
   
   <!-- You can also paste gist.github.com links for larger files -->
   
   ##### EXPECTED RESULTS
   <!-- What did you expect to happen when running the steps above? -->
   
   I expected CloudStack to just download the image and install it as the QCOW2 image that it is.
   
   ##### ACTUAL RESULTS
   <!-- What actually happened? -->
   
   <!-- Paste verbatim command output between quotes below -->
   CloudStack will return an error stating that the URL does not end on `.qcow2`. This seems like an unnecessary limitation.
