Thanks! Too often, the docs get overlooked.
+<h2><a name="uri">Connections to the Microsoft Hyper-V driver</a></h2> +<p> + Some example remote connection URIs for the driver are: +</p> +<pre> +hyperv://example-hyperv.com (over HTTPS) +hyperv://example-hyperv.com/?transport=http (over HTTP)
Wouldn't it be more typical to represent that as: hyperv+http://example-hyperv.com/ that is, qemu+ssh://... uses ssh as the transport, rather than qemu://host/?transport=ssh
+</pre> +<p> +<strong>Note</strong>: In contrast to other drivers, the Hyper-V driver + is a client-side-only driver. It connects to the Hyper-V server using + WS-Management over HTTP(S). Therefore, the +<a href="remote.html">remote transport mechanism</a> provided by the + remote driver and libvirtd will not work, and you cannot use URIs like +<code>hyperv+ssh://example.com</code>.
Then again, I guess I see why not.
