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.
