Synopsis

spice-xpi bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated spice-xpi packages that fix one bug and add one enhancement are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The spice-xpi packages provide the Simple Protocol for Independent Computing
Environments (SPICE) extension for Mozilla that allows the SPICE client to be
used from a web browser.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, the spice-xpi browser plug-in did not remove the
  /tmp/spicec-XXXXXX/spice-foreign socket and the /tmp/spicec-XXXXXX/ directory,
  so they were still present after client had exited. This bug has been fixed, and
  the browser plug-in now removes the above mentioned file and directory after
  client exits. (BZ#882339)
  

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:

• Proxy support for SPICE connection has been added to the spice-xpi browser
  plug-in. With this update, spice-xpi is now able to pass the proxy setting to
  the SPICE client it spawns, for example, when opening a console from the Red Hat
  Enterprise Virtualization Manager portal. (BZ#994613)
  

Users of spice-xpi are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug and add this enhancement. After installing the update, Firefox must be
restarted for the changes to take effect.
