DO-PROXY
direction
serviceUri
A virtual machine request for the proxy to do
forwarding operations over the connection. The virtual machine sends a
DO-PROXY request
before any content is exchanged between the virtual machine and the remote
system.
direction and
serviceURI
correspond to the
VirtualSerialPortURIBackingInfo properties in
the virtual serial port configuration. (See the
vSphere API Reference for
information about the
VirtualSerialPortURIBackingInfo data object.)
direction is either “C” (client) or “S”
(server). If the direction indicates that the virtual machine is acting as a
client,
serviceUri
identifies a remote system and the proxy initiates a connection with the remote
system. If the direction indicates that the virtual machine is acting as a
server,
serviceUri
identifies the network socket on the host on which the virtual machine runs. In
this case, the virtual machine will accept a connection initiated by a remote
system (using the proxy).
If possible, the proxy should also
handle port control options, as specified by
RFC 2217.
