[Users] connecting to oVirt/RHEV VMs through proxy and the oVirt API

[i iordanov]

Hello,

My apologies for cross-posting, but this discussion concerns both mailing
lists, I think.

In Opaque, I recently started setting the proxy property of SpiceSession
from a console file, as is done in remote-viewer, in order to support
installations where the nodes are not "visible" from the point of view of
the client.

However, then I remembered that I have not seen the proxy property being
available through the oVirt/RHEV API. I looked at the latest remote-viewer
code, and I looked through the oVirt/RHEV API documentation, and indeed, I
see no way to get proxy information other than through the console.vv file.

If I am correct, then this means that both Opaque and remote-viewer cannot
connect to VMs behind a proxy unless a console.vv file is used, which also
means that since console.vv files are unobtainable through the User Portal
on mobile devices, mobile devices effectively cannot at all connect to such
VMs if the user is not an Administrator.

Would it be possible to expose the proxy parameter through the API? I
couldn't find a bug opened about this, but it doesn't mean it isn't there
:).

Thanks!
iordan
