Spice Javascript client
Instructions and status as of August, 2016.
Requirements:
1. Modern Firefox or Chrome (IE will work, but badly)
2. A WebSocket proxy
websockify:
https://github.com/kanaka/websockify
works great.
Note that a patch to remove this requirement has been submitted
to the Spice project but not yet been accepted. Refer to this email:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2016-June/030552.html
3. A spice server
Optional:
1. A web server
With firefox, you can just open file:///your-path-to-spice.html-here
With Chrome, you have to set a secret config flag to do that, or
serve the files from a web server.
Steps:
1. Start the spice server
2. Start websockify; my command line looks like this:
./websockify 5959 localhost:5900
3. Fire up spice.html, set host + port + password, and click start
Status:
The TODO file should be a fairly comprehensive list of tasks
required to make this client more fully functional.
