Note that kvm supports http as file store protocol, so you can specify -cdrom http://host/some/where/file.iso Currently kvm does not have a way to escape the delimiter, nor does it check if the portion of filename before the delimiter makes any sense as protocol name (for the above example, chars like - and . and ? before : surely makes the protocol "name" invalid). I'm downgrading this bug to a wishlist for a better filename parser in qemu, plus better diagnostics.
