noVNC support for Google Chrome 14+
Hi All,
We're using nova-vncproxy and noVNC (https:/
After a lot of trial and error we found that only Safari 5.1 on both the Mac and Windows was still working. Chrome is no longer working. Can anyone confirm this?
Does https:/
According to https:/
"In general noVNC works on any browser with Canvas and WebSockets support (either native or via web-socket-js) which is just about everything except IE 8 and lower. However, noVNC works best and is fastest in Chrome (any version) and Firefox 4 (with native WebSockets manually enabled, see note 4)."
However the tables below that quote seem to be pretty outdated.
Anyway, I'm not sure if the Dashboard project is the best place to ask the question/make this request. If this is more appropriate for the Nova project, I'll move over there.
Thanks,
Everett

Chrome 14 (and firefox 6) introduce the new WebSocket protocol support (HyBi-08). If nova-vncproxy has not been updated with support for the new protocol version then that explains why it only works for you in Safari. For reference, websockify (included with kanaka/noVNC) has had initial support since May although there were some major fixes in July and Aug.
Hey Everett,
I made a quick test implementation of a new nova vnc proxy that leverages the server that ships with kanaka. Essentially all I did was create a wrapper around wsproxy.py that can talk to the nova message queue for auth.
You can try it out here: git://github.
cd noVNC
./utils/
Which will run the server in the foreground, and should be able to handle requests that redirect from dashboard's "vnc console" links.
So this is not yet a replacement for nova-vncproxy, but if it sounds interesting give it a try and let me know what you think.
Also, in order to fix nova-vncproxy, some feature work needs to be done in eventlet: https:/

I'm hoping to have some time to look at this during the summit or the week after.

Finally had a chance to try this out with devstack using the latest nova-wsproxy and it looks like it's working in:
Chrome 15
Firefox 7
Safari 5.1
Thanks.
