I think this description could be a bit clearer. If I'm understanding it correctly, this description could be better: " This happens only when not using unix socket, for example when running on non-ovirt host, or ovirt host from another data center, or when using -oo rhv_direct=false After this change, in the unix domain socket case: - We close the socket.

- We call optimize_http which immediately reopens the unix socket.

In the non-unix domain socket case: - We close the socket. - We call optimize_http which does nothing.

- Later when qemu-img starts to read or write to nbdkit, HTTPConnection transparently reconnects to the oVirt server. Doing it this way avoids keeping the TCP connection idle after the initial open(), avoiding the bug described above.
