.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBnghttpx\fP [OPTIONS]... [<PRIVATE_KEY> <CERT>]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
A reverse proxy for HTTP/2, HTTP/1 and SPDY.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B <PRIVATE_KEY>
Set path  to server\(aqs private key.   Required unless \fI\%\-p\fP,
\fI\%\-\-client\fP or \fI\%\-\-frontend\-no\-tls\fP are given.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B <CERT>
Set path  to server\(aqs certificate.  Required  unless \fI\%\-p\fP,
\fI\%\-\-client\fP or \fI\%\-\-frontend\-no\-tls\fP are given.
.UNINDENT
.SH OPTIONS:
.sp
The options are categorized into several groups.
.SS Connections:
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-b, \-\-backend=<HOST,PORT>
Set backend host and port.  For HTTP/1 backend, multiple
backend addresses are accepted by repeating this option.
HTTP/2  backend   does  not  support   multiple  backend
addresses  and the  first occurrence  of this  option is
used.
.sp
Default: \fB127.0.0.1,80\fP
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-f, \-\-frontend=<HOST,PORT>
Set  frontend  host and  port.   If  <HOST> is  \(aq*\(aq,  it
assumes all addresses including both IPv4 and IPv6.
.sp
Default: \fB*,3000\fP
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-backlog=<N>
Set listen backlog size.
.sp
Default: \fB512\fP
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-backend\-ipv4
Resolve backend hostname to IPv4 address only.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-backend\-ipv6
Resolve backend hostname to IPv6 address only.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-backend\-http\-proxy\-uri=<URI>
Specify      proxy       URI      in       the      form
\fI\%http:/\fP/[<USER>:<PASS>@]<PROXY>:<PORT>.    If   a   proxy
requires  authentication,  specify  <USER>  and  <PASS>.
Note that  they must be properly  percent\-encoded.  This
proxy  is used  when the  backend connection  is HTTP/2.
First,  make  a CONNECT  request  to  the proxy  and  it
connects  to the  backend  on behalf  of nghttpx.   This
forms  tunnel.   After  that, nghttpx  performs  SSL/TLS
handshake with  the downstream through the  tunnel.  The
timeouts when connecting and  making CONNECT request can
be     specified    by     \fI\%\-\-backend\-read\-timeout\fP    and
\fI\%\-\-backend\-write\-timeout\fP options.

.B \-\-tls\-ticket\-key\-file=<PATH>
Path  to file  that  contains 48  bytes  random data  to
construct TLS  session ticket parameters.   This options
can  be  used  repeatedly  to  specify  multiple  ticket
parameters.  If several files  are given, only the first
key is used to encrypt  TLS session tickets.  Other keys
are accepted  but server  will issue new  session ticket
with  first  key.   This allows  session  key  rotation.
Please   note  that   key   rotation   does  not   occur
automatically.   User should  rearrange files  or change
options  values  and  restart  nghttpx  gracefully.   If
opening or reading given file fails, all loaded keys are
discarded and it is treated as if none of this option is
given.  If this option is not given or an error occurred
while  opening  or  reading  a file,  key  is  generated
automatically and  renewed every 12hrs.  At  most 2 keys
are stored in memory.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-tls\-ctx\-per\-worker

locking is required.  This  may improve scalability with
multi  threaded   configuration.   If  this   option  is
enabled, session ID is  no longer shared accross SSL_CTX
objects, which means session  ID generated by one worker
is not acceptable by another worker.  On the other hand,
session ticket key is shared across all worker threads.
