Please note that on F19 I have:
spice-xpi-2.8-3.fc19.x86_64
and on F20 I see there is
spice-xpi-2.8.90-1.fc20.x86_64

SO does this mean that only in upcoming Fedora 20 (right today... ;-)
one would have spice-xpi functionality?

This test seems to confirm:

I'm doing further testing on f19 client with
spice-gtk3-0.20-6.fc19.x86_64
(spice-gtk not installed, is it correct?)
spice-xpi-2.8-3.fc19.x86_64
virt-viewer-0.5.6-1.fc19.x86_64
firefox-26.0-2.fc19.x86_64

I changed proxy (10.4.4.63) port to 80 as at the moment is the only
opened on that lan.
I changed accordingly the engine config and restart
hypervisor ip is 10.4.4.59

>From same firefox:

1) if I select native client option I correctly get the console window
for a VM and in netstat
tcp        0      0 10.4.23.21:44980        10.4.4.63:80            ESTABLISHED

2) If I select browser plugin for the same VM I get error and I see
with netstat that it is trying host ip and not proxy one
tcp        0      1 10.4.23.21:51365        10.4.4.59:5901          SYN_SENT

In terminal session before launching firefox I have set:
 export SPICE_DEBUG=1

What I get when I try console via spice-xpi is:

(plugin-container:15279): SpiceXPI-CRITICAL **: controller connect: No
such file or directory

(plugin-container:15279): SpiceXPI-CRITICAL **: controller connect: No
such file or directory

while in f20 I get, also with spice plugin:
tcp        0      0 10.4.4.67:32850         10.4.4.63:80            ESTABLISHED
and in ps output:
gcecchi  2145     1  1 09:33 ?        00:00:01 remote-viewer --spice-controller

Hope that can get it also on Fedora 19, if the bug referred for 6.x
and resolved in 6.5 is this one I found:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=994613
should be "only" a matter to port upstram patch to fedora 19, correct?

Thanks,
