Just a quick correction and apologies, the actual issue is that http

think this is by design likely for security.
Looking at the man page for qemu-kvm it states http will work with
examples given however only https works, my best guess from looking
at the spec file from the srpm is that it has only been enabled in
the centos qemu-kvm-ev with https:
Yes, the qemu RPMs in centos & RHEL have disabled support for http://
protocol, however, I expect that to immediately fail when trying to
start the guest. eg
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -drive file=http://example.com/foo/bar -accel tcg
qemu-kvm: -drive file=http://example.com/foo/bar: Driver 'http' is not
whitelisted
so I'm puzzelled why your guest successfully started at all with a
http protocol in use.
Are you able to share your QEMU log from /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$GUESTNAME.log
from a VM that fails to launch with http ?
