So to generically support all graphics protocols I added "domdisplay" which provides "hostname:port" like vncdisplay so I needed a way to tell you of the protocol. I figured generic URI RFC style for VNC would be ok since we follow SPICE's URI spec and RDP's URI spec so why special case VNC to not make it a URI. -- Doug Goldstein -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
