Image upload fails with multi part file (http upload) about pylxd

[rockstar]

Can you import this image using the lxc command? I suspect this API is DTRT.

Yes it doesnt have any problems when I try to import the image.

What format is this image in? Where did you get it? Can you put it somewhere I can get to it, so I can try it out?

[rockstar]

I have been able to reproduce this issue, but when I do lxc image import <file>, I get error: detectCompression failed, err='Unsupported compression', tarfile='/var/lib/lxd/images/lxd_build_626862389/lxd_tar_962061103'

This looks like it's acting as it should. If you have an image that causes the issue, but successfully imports to LXD, please feel free to link it here and re-open.

Oh, I figured out what the issue is here. It's the combination of metadata.yaml and the image in the same request. That's something pylxd doesn't currently do, but should. I'll have to think about what the api for that looks like.
