Public bug reported: using Havana nova with python-websockify-0.5.1 I found that the server is not picky enough. It accepts WebSocket frames with the masked-bit unset though the relevant standard https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455#section-5.1 says The server MUST close the connection upon receiving a frame that is not masked.
For testing this behaviour, you can use my code without this fix https://github.com/bmwiedemann/connectionproxy/commit/1ece2024090cfbacc003f66c036c2fe550fd488a it is used like this: git clone https://github.com/bmwiedemann/connectionproxy.git $INSTALL perl-Protocol-WebSocket nova get-vnc-console $YOURINSTANCE novnc perl wsconnectionproxy.pl --port 5942 --to http://cloud.example.com:6080/vnc_auto.html?token=xxx gvncviewer localhost:42 ** Affects: nova Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
