Don't blame GnuTLS here. As stated on IRC my initial assumption was
wrong. The problem is probably not in GnuTLS, as gnutls-cli works
fine. The problem is in the way libcurl and GnuTLS interact. Therefore
libvirt's GnuTLS usage is not affected, only libcurl's.
Also this is mixing up two different drivers, the remote driver vs the
ESX driver. The remote driver with TLS should in fact work, and is indeed
the *only* transport for the driver which we can recommend using from
Windows clients. qemu+tcp:// should not be recommended, because there is
no SASL support yet and no one wants to be using this unencrypted with
no auth.
