Title: Description of spice proxy configuration is wrong with regards to supported protocols Describe the issue: Documentation section "B.6.3. Turning on SPICE Proxy" is misleading with regard to supported protocols where it says: " The proxy must have this form: protocol://[host]:[port] For example: https://proxyname.example.com:8080 Note Different protocols can be specified with the protocol:// prefix. If no protocol is specified in the proxy string (or if the proxy string doesn't match a supported proxy), the proxy is treated as an HTTP proxy. " Suggestions for improvement: - remove the example about the usage of https - specify clearly that only http is supported and functioning at moment. Additional information: It is my understanding that currently only http protocol is supported by spice clients (although this is not stated anywhere to my knowledge). If https is specified the client tries to connect directly to the hypervisor, so ignoring completely the proxy setting.
To close this bug: 1. Remove the following from the Installation Guide: For example: https://proxyname.example.com:8080 2. Change this: Different protocols can be specified with the protocol:// prefix. If no protocol is specified in the proxy string (or if the proxy string doesn't match a supported proxy), the proxy is treated as an HTTP proxy. To this: Only the http protocol is supported by SPICE clients. If https is specified, the client attempts to connect to the hypervisor and thereby ignores the proxy setting.
