In the current implementation when gvproxy is started with the --listen option, it exposes a HTTP API with several endpoints like /connect, /stats, /services ...
The /connect endpoint, however, is only used when the gvforwarder tool is running on the guest, and, when using different connectivities like --listen-vfkit or --listen-qemu, it is not really necessary.
This commit adds a new flag --services that allows to start the HTTP API without the /connect endpoint.
I was not sure how to implement it as I saw 3 possible use cases:
/connect
endpoint)/connect
endpoint)I went with the third to stick with the same behavior but open to discuss.
I'll add some test in a follow-up PR as I'd like to leverage the code from #427
