[Spice-devel] Announcing spice-xpi 2.5

Fri Jun 10 00:04:43 PDT 2011

Here is an example html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>SPICE Plugin Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
	function connectvm()
	{
		var ip = String("192.168.96.111");
		var port = String("5901");
		var passwd = String("pass at 321");
		var pluginobj = document.embeds[0];

		pluginobj.hostIP = ip;
		pluginobj.port = port;
		pluginobj.Password = passwd;
		pluginobj.fullScreen = true;
		pluginobj.UsbListenPort = 0;
		pluginobj.connect();
	}
</script>
</head>
<body>
        <p>
    	<embed type="application/x-spice">
        <button onclick='connectvm()'>connect to VM</button>
        </p>
        <p>
        	If the plugin is working correctly, a click on the button
should open spice client.
        </p>
</body>
</html>

I also verified this plugin works well with Google Chrome browser, at
least on my Ubuntu 11.04 x86_64 system.

If so, is there some documentation somewhere that specifies how one constructs the URL?  I don't currently have access to RHEV for Desktops to see what the URLs look like.

I didn't find much info... and I'm not programmer-ish enough to look directly at the source to piece the info together.
