Hi,

On user portal, when users click on the "Connect" link of a VM that is configured to be run with "Native client" and SPICE protocol, a .vv file is generated with the connection parameters so the SPICE client knows where to connect: host, port, password, ...

Currently, is there a way to generate those parameters with the Python SDK? Especially the session password so it's possible to connect to the VM directly with a SPICE client.

Yes, you can either get either only the password/ticket or the whole vv file, which was introduced by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1128763

But this call is missing from the python SDK 3.6.5.2.

In the example, I see :
curl -k -u admin at internal:1 ... -H "Accept: application/x-virt-viewer"

But in ovirtsdk/infrastructure/connectionspool.py, line 106, I see:

    header_lines.append("Accept: application/xml")

The Accept parameter is hard coded, the python SDK doesn't not allow to get the vv file, because that's the only settings that make a difference betwen getting the object and getting the vv file, as it's indicated in the rsdl :

<link href="/api/vms/{vm:id}/graphicsconsoles/{graphicsconsole:id}" rel="get">

                    <value>true|false</value>
                </parameter>
            </parameters_set>
        </url>
        <body/>
    </request>
    <response>
        <type>GraphicsConsole</type>
    </response>
