When I try to set a property on a glance image by POSTing to the OS API at /images/<id>/metadata, the location field is set to Null. I've put the relevant bit of the registry log below.
I've tried looking through the glance code, and I can't see exactly how this is happening. I strongly suspect it's all my fault though, as I was the one that originally filed the bug that said that the location field shouldn't be publicly visible - my guess is that it's being zeroed out somewhere and then set back. Karma :-)

Aha.... I think the root problem is here, in nova, in nova/image/
The metadata update fetches all the metadata, merges in the values, and then posts that to glance (which is not the strictly correct in terms of concurrent updates, but anyway...)
The problem is that the fetch returns 'Location' of None.
https:/
def _limit_
IMAGE_
output = {}
for attr in IMAGE_ATTRIBUTES:
output[
return output
That sets ['location'] to None; which then gets passed to the glance registry, which then updates the location to None.
