virt-install fails if http server has directory indexes turned off
 

def acquireKernel(baseuri, progresscb, scratchdir="/var/tmp", type=None,
distro=None, arch=None):
fetcher = _fetcherForURI(baseuri, scratchdir)

try:
fetcher.prepareLocation(progresscb)
except ValueError, e:
raise ValueError, _("Invalid install location: ") + str(e)


Here we're attempting to download the base directory to test whether the
location is valid. This seems unnecessary and fails if the server has
disabled directory listings.

This has been fixed upstream, I changed prepareLocation to not
try to grab the directory list, just check for it's existence
using fetcher.hasFile:

http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virtinst--devel?cs=24a96e544e8e

I don't know of a tree with disabled directory listings, so if
you could verify, that would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Cole
