Ha ha :-)
that look way saner to me, except nobody but root can really get the
information (IIRC by default the xenstore _ro socket is not accessible).
If the proxy has support for getting the XML it shouldn't matter ?
Now should we still hardcode 5900 + id if not available ?
Yeah, I think we need to be able to guarentee that whenever there is
a '<graphics type=vnc>' tag, it will always have a port number attribute.
If the port number is missing some of the time, people won't be inlined
to make use of it & will go back to hardcoding stuff in the application
code instead.
The XML dump should go though the proxy too for non-root that's
something
I need to add too.
Yeah, I just noticed that that's going to be needed too.
Dan.
