[Libguestfs] \n didn't lead to a new line while using remote model

[Yu Liu]

Ah, I see. Many thanks.

BTW, I see a function that it can add a ssh remote image, like guestfish 
-a ssh://root@example.com/path/disk.img,  it's really powerful, but why 
couldn't I secceed?

#guestfish -a http://slcn03cn15.us.oracle.com/packages/test1.img
http://slcn03cn15.us.oracle.com/packages/test1.img: No such file or 
directory
