.SH OPTIONS
.sp
2014-05-16 16:54:09 +02:00
The options are categorized into several groups.
2015-02-01 10:33:24 +01:00

.INDENT 0.0

.B \-b, \-\-backend=(<HOST>,<PORT>|unix:<PATH>)[;<PATTERN>[:...]]
2015-03-14 10:52:50 +01:00
Set backend host and port. The multiple backend
addresses are accepted by repeating this option. UNIX
domain socket can be specified by prefixing path name
2015-07-11 05:45:23 +02:00
with "unix:" (e.g., unix:/var/run/backend.sock).
.sp
Optionally, if <PATTERN>s are given, the backend address
2015-07-12 16:26:45 +02:00
is only used if request matches the pattern. If \fI\%\-s\fP or
\fI\%\-p\fP is used, <PATTERN>s are ignored. The pattern
matching is closely designed to ServeMux in net/http
package of Go programming language. <PATTERN> consists
2015-07-14 17:01:04 +02:00
of path, host + path or just host. The path must start
with "\fI/\fP". If it ends with "\fI/\fP", it matches all request
path in its subtree. To deal with the request to the
directory without trailing slash, the path which ends
with "\fI/\fP" also matches the request path which only lacks
trailing \(aq\fI/\fP\(aq (e.g., path "\fI/foo/\fP" matches request path
"\fI/foo\fP"). If it does not end with "\fI/\fP", it performs exact
match against the request path. If host is given, it
performs exact match against the request host. If host
alone is given, "\fI/\fP" is appended to it, so that it
matches all request paths under the host (e.g.,
specifying "nghttp2.org" equals to "nghttp2.org/").
.sp
Patterns with host take precedence over patterns with
just path. Then, longer patterns take precedence over
2015-07-12 16:26:45 +02:00
shorter ones, breaking a tie by the order of the
appearance in the configuration.
2015-07-11 05:45:23 +02:00
.sp
If <PATTERN> is omitted, "\fI/\fP" is used as pattern, which
2015-07-14 17:01:04 +02:00
matches all request paths (catch\-all pattern). The
catch\-all backend must be given.
2015-07-11 05:45:23 +02:00
.sp
When doing a match, nghttpx made some normalization to
pattern, request host and path. For host part, they are
converted to lower case. For path part, percent\-encoded
unreserved characters defined in RFC 3986 are decoded,
and any dot\-segments (".." and ".") are resolved and
removed.
.sp
For example, \fI\%\-b\fP\(aq127.0.0.1,8080;nghttp2.org/httpbin/\(aq
matches the request host "nghttp2.org" and the request
path "\fI/httpbin/get\fP", but does not match the request host
"nghttp2.org" and the request path "\fI/index.html\fP".
.sp
The multiple <PATTERN>s can be specified, delimiting
them by ":". Specifying
\fI\%\-b\fP\(aq127.0.0.1,8080;nghttp2.org:www.nghttp2.org\(aq has the
same effect to specify \fI\%\-b\fP\(aq127.0.0.1,8080;nghttp2.org\(aq
2015-07-14 17:01:04 +02:00
and \fI\%\-b\fP\(aq127.0.0.1,8080;www.nghttp2.org\(aq.
2015-07-11 05:45:23 +02:00
.sp
The backend addresses sharing same <PATTERN> are grouped
2015-07-14 17:01:04 +02:00
together forming load balancing group.
.sp
Since ";" and ":" are used as delimiter, <PATTERN> must
not contain these characters. Since ";" has special
meaning in shell, the option value must be quoted.

2015-02-22 10:02:57 +01:00
assumes all addresses including both IPv4 and IPv6.

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.
