Currently if qemu is connected to a curl source (eg. web server), and
the web server fails / times out / dies, you always see a bogus EIO
"Input/output error".
For example, choose a large file located on any local webserver which
you control:
$ qemu-img convert -p http://example.com/large.iso /tmp/test
Once it starts copying the file, stop the webserver and you will see
qemu-img fail with:
qemu-img: error while reading sector 61440: Input/output error
This patch does two things: Firstly print the actual error from curl
so it doesn't get lost. Secondly, change EIO to EPROTO. EPROTO is a
POSIX.1 compatible errno which more accurately reflects that there was
a protocol error, rather than some kind of hardware failure.
After this patch is applied, the error changes to:
$ qemu-img convert -p http://example.com/large.iso /tmp/test
qemu-img: curl: transfer closed with 469989 bytes remaining to read
qemu-img: error while reading sector 16384: Protocol error
