Functional tests related to web-download import method timeouts or fails intermittently

[Abhishek Kekane]

In web-download import method functional tests we are trying to download a file from 'https://www.openstack.org/assets/openstack-logo/2016R/OpenStack-Logo-Horizontal.eps.zip' in glance. Here we are assuming image will be downloaded and active 20 seconds of time and if not it will be marked as failed. As of now these tests never fails in local environment but, external networking will always be unreliable from the CI environment which sometimes causes these tests to either timeout or failure.

The solution for this is likely to be that not relying on pulling something from the external network in the test instead just use something else hosted on the local Apache httpd of the test node and use that as the URL to import in the test.

    Fixed intermittent timeout/failing functional tests

    In web-download import method functional tests we are trying to download
    a file from 'https://www.openstack.org/assets/openstack-logo/2016R/OpenStack-Logo-Horizontal.eps.zip'.
    Here we are assuming image is downloaded and will be active within 20
    seconds else will be marked as failed. As of now these tests never
    fails in local environment but, external networking will always be unreliable
    from the CI environment which sometimes causes these tests to either
    timeout or failure.

    Instead of using external URL to download the image, deploying local http
    server to dowload local image.
