> When registering templates with CloudStack, it is necessary to provide a URL from which the template can be downloaded.
> CloudStack validates the format of these URLs, but it does so quite aggressively, sometimes rejecting URLs that are perfectly valid.
> In particular, CloudStack expects and requires the URL to carry a file extension that matches the expected template, eg. ".vhd" or ".vhd.gz". If the URL doesn't have such an extension, it will be rejected, even if it is a perfectly valid URL from which a VHD can be downloaded.
