< p > The interesting mode at the moment is the default mode. It works like
2013-08-25 15:59:06 +02:00
a reverse proxy and listens HTTP-draft-06/2.0, SPDY and HTTP/1.1 and
2013-08-03 13:03:39 +02:00
can be deployed SSL/TLS terminator for existing web server.< / p >
< p > The default mode, < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --spdy< / span > < / tt > and < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --spdy-bridge< / span > < / tt > modes use SSL/TLS
in the frontend connection by default. To disable SSL/TLS, use
< tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --frontend-no-tls< / span > < / tt > option. If that option is used, SPDY is disabled
in the frontend and incoming HTTP/1.1 connection can be upgraded to
HTTP/2.0 through HTTP Upgrade.< / p >
< p > The < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --spdy-bridge< / span > < / tt > , < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --client< / span > < / tt > and < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --client-proxy< / span > < / tt > modes use
SSL/TLS in the backend connection by deafult. To disable SSL/TLS, use
< tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --backend-no-tls< / span > < / tt > option.< / p >
2013-07-28 14:26:41 +02:00
