Searching for the definition of how to declare a "read only" URL, I looked at https://libvirt.org/uri.html ; but it doesn't mention the option (instead referring to virConnectReadOnly() ). I also searched the code base, but couldn't find where "readonliness" is extracted from the URL. If you can provide the URL parameter for read-only, I'll want to send a patch for the docs to list it.
