Spice Javascript client

Instructions and status as of August, 2016.

Requirements:

  1.  Modern Firefox or Chrome (IE will work, but badly)

  2.  A WebSocket proxy

      websockify:
        https://github.com/kanaka/websockify
      works great.

      Note that a patch to remove this requirement has been submitted
      to the Spice project but not yet been accepted.  Refer to this email:
      https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2016-June/030552.html

  3.  A spice server


Optional:
  1.  A web server

      With firefox, you can just open file:///your-path-to-spice.html-here

      With Chrome, you have to set a secret config flag to do that, or
      serve the files from a web server.


Steps:

  1.  Start the spice server

  2.  Start websockify; my command line looks like this:
        ./websockify 5959 localhost:5900

  3.  Fire up spice.html, set host + port + password, and click start


Status:

  The TODO file should be a fairly comprehensive list of tasks
  required to make this client more fully functional.
