Bug 1297900

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1297588 +++

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ virt-manager --version
1.3.2

How reproducible:
virt-install with a net-install of RHEL 7.2 (but looks to be any netboot style install).  ISO pull off the web server.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run virt-install where my install is a net install (pulling down images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
2. Python error below

Actual results:
[Mon, 11 Jan 2016 22:44:00 virt-install 12769] ERROR (cli:306) Couldn't acquire file http://URL/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz: 'int' object has no attribute 'isdigit'

    (url, str(e)))
ValueError: Couldn't acquire file http://URL/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz: 'int' object has no attribute 'isdigit'


Expected results:
[Mon, 11 Jan 2016 22:44:25 virt-install 12857] DEBUG (urlfetcher:89) Fetching URI: http://qnap01.csdt.sjm.com/kickstart/RHEL7.2_ISO/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz

These expected results I get with the patch below.

This fixes the problem for me.

Since Transfer-Encoding "chunked" header is set, there is no Content-Length header, therefore you get None back.  Since this is only for a progress bar I don't care if the size is incorrect.

Thanks for the report, and the patch! It's better to default to size=None instead, since that gives better progressbar behavior. I pushed a fix:
