Do you have any more information on this. I'd be surprised if it was /always/ unusuable, as opposed to initially working and then getting broken in some particular version of QEMU.
I tested on qemu-kvm-1.5.3-174.el7.x86_64 curl-7.29.0-58.el7.x86_64 tftp-server-5.2-22.el7.x86_64, it doesn't work, either: ➜ ~ curl tftp://127.0.0.1/img <http://127.0.0.1/img> -o /tmp/tftp % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 100M 100 100M 0 0 20.6M 0 0:00:04 0:00:04 --:--:-- 20.6M 100 100M 100 100M 0 0 20.6M 0 0:00:04 0:00:04 --:--:-- 20.6M ➜ ~ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b 'json:{"file.driver":"tftp", "file.url":"tftp://127.0.0.1/img <http://127.0.0.1/img>"}' /var/lib/libvirt/images/tftp.img Formatting '/var/lib/libvirt/images/tftp.img', fmt=qcow2 size=104857600 backing_file='json:{"file.driver":"tftp", "file.url":"tftp://127.0.0.1/img <http://127.0.0.1/img>"}' encryption=off cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off ^C

The qemu-img command above is stuck and never returns.
Max, is the tftp unusable for all versions of QEMU? Could you please give more info on that?
I have no idea. I’ve never tested it. Max
