Virt-install fail with --location switch

Hello Forum i recently tried to install some KVM based VMs on my Arch box and i faced this error that seems related to incompatible vesrions of libvirt/virt-install:

virt-install --name test1 --virt-type kvm --vcpus=2 --ram 1024 --network network=default,model=virtio --disk path=/home/j0lly/VMs/test1,size=2 --location http://127.0.0.1/release6/ -x 'console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 ks=http://127.0.0.1/kickstart_base.cfg' --nographics --os-variant=rhel6 --os-type=linux --autostart --debug

This the error code:

If i use Local source like cdrom or iso there's no problem in the installation process.

Does somebody faced the same problem?

Libvirt Ver: 1.2.0-1
virt-manager Ver: 0.10.0-4
Pyhton2 Ver: 2.7.6-1
libvirt-python Ver: 1.2.0-2
Kernel : 3.8.8-2-ARCH (due to nested kvm broken in kernel >= 3.10)

Re: Virt-install fail with --location switch

I am facing the same error when trying to create a new virtual machine on a remote Debian system with virt-manager using network install with a http url:
