Enhancement/image support

[willy-ahva]

Here is a PR to : Add image support : now you can import image directly via Soap.

Enhance benchmark :

• Add a method to benchmark image import.
• Add a method to benchmark localizable products.
• Add possibility to send bulk of entities to Magento. That's how I benchmarked that is better to send calls of 2500 rows to be sure to keep a rate of transfer above 70rows/second.

I'm tagging myself here so I can review this later and possibly do some cleanup/merging of the request.

Thanks for your contribution! :-)

You're welcome ! You can do what you want about this code ;)

Do you know if it's possible, in an api like AiImport, to use the same method than the "Check Data" button from the page where you can import a CSV file in Magento ? And if yes, what are those methods ? Thanks for help @danslo :)

@willy-ahva It's not currently possible, but should be easy to add.

This is how Magento does it: https://github.com/OpenMage/magento-mirror/blob/magento-1.8/app/code/core/Mage/ImportExport/Model/Import.php#L440

Basically all you need to do is add something like this to Danslo_ApiImport_Model_Import_Api:

public function validateEntities($entities, $entityType = null, $behavior = null)
{
    // Not sure if these are needed when validating.
    $this->_setEntityTypeCode($entityType ? $entityType : Mage_Catalog_Model_Product::ENTITY);
    $this->_setBehavior($behavior ? $behavior : Mage_ImportExport_Model_Import::BEHAVIOR_REPLACE);

    $this->_api->getDataSourceModel()->setEntities($entities);
    return array($this->_api->isDataValid());
}

And then obviously update wsdl.xml and api.xml. Haven't tested the above, but it should work.

I'd love to see this PR merged I've done a (light) code review and it looks solid.

@drewdotpro I'm getting this merged pretty soon, I just want to make some slight adjustments but haven't gotten around to it unfortunately.
