Fixes #47 Passing a template file (as opposed to a URL) to the CLI: ./heat -d create wordpress \ --template-file=../templates/WordPress_Single_Instance.template caused a 'URI too long' error. The reason was that we were passing the entire template contents to the Heat API server inside the URL params. This makes sure that templates are passed around inside HTTP body rather than the URL.
HEAT
This is an OpenStack style project that provides a REST API to orchestrate multiple cloud applications implementing well-known standards such as AWS CloudFormation and TOSCA.
Currently the developers are focusing on AWS CloudFormations but are watching the development of the TOSCA specification.
Why heat? It makes the clouds rise and keeps them there.
