The PVE spice API has change recently.

1.) We use POST instead of GET (you need to send the CRSF token for security reasons).

2.) we simply return a json object instead of a '.vv' file.

So you should use /api2/json/nodes/<nodename>/qemu/vmid/spiceproxy API path.

You can easily generate a '.vv' file on the client side using a data URL. I currently 
use something like this:

    openSpiceViewer: function(url, params){
	PVE.Utils.API2Request({
	    url: url,
	    params: params,
	    method: 'POST',
	    failure: function(response, opts){
		Ext.Msg.alert('Error', response.htmlStatus);
	    },
	    success: function(response, opts){
		var raw = "[virt-viewer]\n";
		Ext.Object.each(response.result.data, function(k, v) {
		    raw += k + "=" + v + "\n";
		});
		var url = 'data:application/x-virt-viewer;charset=UTF-8,' +
		    encodeURIComponent(raw);
		    
		window.open(url, "_top");
	    }
	});
    }

Hope that helps.
