I am not a RHEVM user, I don't know where is the documentation you are talking about.

But I know that we track spice-gtk/virt-viewer RFE in bug and erratas for RHEL/RHEVM.

That's surprising, SPICE_PROXY=http://... and virt-viewer "proxy" configuration should work. Can you describe what you are testing?

Not very far.

You said you are using ovirt? With XPI or mime? Could you get the SPICE_DEBUG=1 log and check that proxy is being used?

Could you check from command line that your HTTP proxy is correctly configured (allow CONNECT etc)

ex: SPICE_PROXY=http://proxy:3128 remote-viewer spice://host:port
