I agree - the fact that the 'uri' to virConnectOpen doesn't technically have
to
always be a URI (eg, NULL, or Xen, or xen) is a major cause of pain virt-manager
since we have to special case parsing of it, rather than just handing off to a
generic URI parser module. We should mandate wellformed URIs for the migrate
API, where wellformed is defined to be whatever libxml is able to parse :-)
I'd be a bit happier if libxml2 could parse a bare string like
"hostname" and "hostname:1234" more like my browser does. At the
moment
this is what it does:
hostname ---> scheme=(null) server=(null) port=0 path=hostname
query_raw=(null)
hostname:1234 ---> scheme=hostname server=(null) port=0 path=(null)
query_raw=(null)
(Original program attached).
I'm sure there's some smartypants standards reason for it, but it's
counterintuitive to me.
Rich.
