This patch adds a new console type, "spice-direct", which provides
the connection information required to talk the native SPICE protocol
directly to qemu on the hypervisor. This is intended to be fronted
by a proxy which will handle authentication separately.
A new microversion is introduced which adds the type "spice-direct"
to the existing "spice" protocol.
An example request:
POST /servers/<uuid>/remote-consoles
{
"remote_console": {
"protocol": "spice",
"type": "spice-direct"
}
}
An example response:
{
"remote_console": {
"protocol": "spice",
"type": "spice-direct",
"url": "http://localhost:13200/nova?token=XXX";
}
}
This token can then be used to lookup connection details for the
console using a request like this:
GET /os-console-auth-tokens/<consoletoken>
Which returns something like this:
{
"console": {
"instance_uuid": <uuid>,
"host": <hypervisor>,
"port": <a TCP port number>,
"tls_port": <another TCP port number>,
"internal_access_path": null
}
}
