[PVE-User] MIME type of SPICE configuration file

[PVE-User] MIME type of SPICE configuration file

[Uwe Sauter]

Hi all,

quoting https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/SPICE section "Start your SPICE session":

"A Spice session can be started by clicking directly on the Console button or by opening the Console sub menu and 
selecting Spice explicitly. This will trigger the download of the connection config file.

Open this file with Remote Viewer to start the session.

The association is automatic for Chrome and Internet Explorer (they use the mime type association from the OS). For 
Firefox, the association must be done manually, as Firefox has his own internal mime type association (See 
Options/Applications)."


I'm having trouble finding out the MIME type of the configuration file that is presented as download. As mentioned 
Firefox has no automatic association but in order do the configuration I'd need to know which MIME type I need to 
associate with virt-viewer.


Any hint is appreciated.

Have a nice weekend,

	Uwe

The MIME media type set is "application/x-virt-viewer", as that's what
the main SPICE client "virt-viewer" uses, e.g. on my Debian workstation:

# grep mime-type /usr/share/mime/packages/virt-viewer-mime.xml
  <mime-type type="application/x-virt-viewer">

For completeness sake: we set it here:
https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-manager.git;a=blob;f=www/manager6/Utils.js;h=d5dd2999081ec6970bd2122da9d61caf43d3ce0b;hb=f548e4fca214a409d638a59e9a6dc0080b9f0f6a#l1416

cheers,
Thomas
