Is not git enough? These fields tend to not get updated at the end.
+
+Introduction
+++++++++++++
+
+Spice client (remote-viewer) supports connecting to the server via an http
proxy.
+This may be desirable for cases when the client does not have direct access
+to the server.
+
+Configuring the Client
+++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Proxy Format
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+[protocol://]proxy-host[:proxy-port]
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ for example: http://10.0.15.50:3128
+
+There are two ways to tell the client to connect via an http proxy:
+
+SPICE_PROXY environment variable
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+A SPICE_PROXY environment variable tells remote-viewer
+to connect to the spice-server via a proxy-server
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ export SPICE_PROXY="http://10.0.15.50:3128";
I forgot, can it use "http_proxy" or not?
I'm not sure what you mean here.
Is it if something like the following would work
export SPICE_PROXY="http_proxy://10.0.15.50:3128"
I did not try but I guess it would not work.
+
+proxy key in a vv-file (under [virt-viewer])
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+A proxy key in a vv-file tells the remote-viewer to
+connect to the spice-server via a proxy-server
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ [virt-viewer]
+ proxy=http://10.0.15.50:3128
+
+
+Configuring the proxy server (squid as an example)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+Squid (squid-cache.org) can be used as a proxy server.
+
+This is just an example.
+There are other configurations possible, and other proxy
+servers.
+Configuration should be done according to requirements.
+Firewall, if exists, may need to be configured as well.
+
+
+Installation (Fedora)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+On Fedora it can be installed via dnf, e.g.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ dnf install squid
I would not document the installation process as it's really
straightforward ;)
OK, I can drop it.
Thanks,
Uri.
