< p > nghttpx is a proxy translating protocols between HTTP/2 and other
protocols (e.g., HTTP/1, SPDY). It operates in several modes and each
mode may require additional programs to work with. This article
describes each operation mode and explains the intended use-cases. It
also covers some useful options later.< / p >
< div class = "section" id = "default-mode" >
< h2 > Default mode< a class = "headerlink" href = "#default-mode" title = "Permalink to this headline" > ¶< / a > < / h2 >
< p > If nghttpx is invoked without any < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > -s< / span > < / tt > , < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > -p< / span > < / tt > and < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --client< / span > < / tt > , it
operates in default mode. In this mode, nghttpx frontend listens for
HTTP/2 requests and translates them to HTTP/1 requests. Thus it works
as reverse proxy (gateway) for HTTP/2 clients to HTTP/1 web server.
HTTP/1 requests are also supported in frontend as a fallback. If
nghttpx is linked with spdylay library and frontend connection is
SSL/TLS, the frontend also supports SPDY protocol.< / p >
< p > By default, this mode’ s frontend connection is encrypted using
SSL/TLS. So server’ s private key and certificate must be supplied to
the command line (or through configuration file). In this case, the
fontend protocol selection will is done via ALPN or NPN.< / p >
< p > With < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --frontend-no-tls< / span > < / tt > option, user can turn off SSL/TLS in
frontend connection. In this case, SPDY protocol is not available
even if spdylay library is liked to nghttpx. HTTP/2 and HTTP/1 are
available on the frontend and a HTTP/1 connection can be upgraded to
HTTP/2 using HTTP Upgrade. Starting HTTP/2 connection by sending
HTTP/2 connection preface is also supported.< / p >
< p > The backend is supposed to be HTTP/1 Web server. For example, to make
nghttpx listen to encrypted HTTP/2 requests at port 8443, and a
backend HTTP/1 web server is configured to listen to HTTP/1 request at
port 8080 in the same host, run nghttpx command-line like this:< / p >
< div class = "highlight-c" > < div class = "highlight" > < pre > $ nghttpx -f0.0.0.0,8443 -b127.0.0.1,8080 /path/to/server.key /path/to/server.crt
< / pre > < / div >
< / div >
< p > Then HTTP/2 enabled client can access to the nghttpx in HTTP/2. For
example, you can send GET request to the server using nghttp:< / p >
< div class = "highlight-c" > < div class = "highlight" > < pre > $ nghttp -nv https://localhost:8443/
< / pre > < / div >
< / div >

< h2 > HTTP/2 proxy mode< a class = "headerlink" href = "#http-2-proxy-mode" title = "Permalink to this headline" > ¶< / a > < / h2 >
< p > If nghttpx is invoked with < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > -s< / span > < / tt > option, it operates in HTTP/2 proxy
mode. The supported protocols in frontend and backend connections are
2014-06-28 09:14:29 +02:00
the same in < a class = "reference internal" href = "#default-mode" > default mode< / a > . The difference is that this mode acts
like forward proxy and assumes the backend is HTTP/1 proxy server
(e.g., squid, traffic server). So HTTP/1 request must include
absolute URI in request line.< / p >
2014-04-20 16:36:21 +02:00
< p > By default, frontend connection is encrypted, this mode is also called
secure proxy. If nghttpx is linked with spdylay, it supports SPDY
protocols and it works as so called SPDY proxy.< / p >
< p > With < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --frontend-no-tls< / span > < / tt > option, SSL/TLS is turned off in frontend
connection, so the connection gets insecure.< / p >
< p > The backend must be HTTP/1 proxy server. nghttpx only supports 1
backend server address. It translates incoming requests to HTTP/1
request to backend server. The backend server performs real proxy
work for each request, for example, dispatching requests to the origin
server and caching contents.< / p >
< p > For example, to make nghttpx listen to encrypted HTTP/2 requests at
port 8443, and a backend HTTP/1 proxy server is configured to listen
2014-06-28 09:14:29 +02:00
to HTTP/1 request at port 8080 in the same host, run nghttpx
2014-04-20 16:36:21 +02:00
command-line like this:< / p >

< p > At the time of this writing, Firefox nightly supports HTTP/2 proxy.
Chromium can use nghttpx as secure (SPDY) proxy and will support
HTTP/2 proxy in the near future.< / p >

proxy, user has to create proxy.pac script file like this:< / p >

< p > The use-case of this mode is aggregate the incoming connections to one
HTTP/2 connection. One backend HTTP/2 connection is created per

< h2 > Specifying additional CA certificate< a class = "headerlink" href = "#specifying-additional-ca-certificate" title = "Permalink to this headline" > ¶< / a > < / h2 >
< p > By default, nghttpx tries to read CA certificate from system. But
depending on the system you use, this may fail or is not supported.
To specify CA certificate manually, use < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --cacert< / span > < / tt > option. The
specified file must be PEM format and can contain multiple
certificates.< / p >
< p > By default, nghttpx validates server’ s certificate. If you want to
turn off this validation, knowing this is really insecure and what you
are doing, you can use < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > -k< / span > < / tt > option to disable certificate
validation.< / p >

< h2 > Read/write rate limit< a class = "headerlink" href = "#read-write-rate-limit" title = "Permalink to this headline" > ¶< / a > < / h2 >
< p > nghttpx supports transfer rate limiting on frontend connections. You
can do rate limit per connection or per worker (thread) for reading
and writeing individually.< / p >
< p > To rate limit per connection for reading, use < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --read-rate< / span > < / tt > and
< tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --read-burst< / span > < / tt > options. For writing, use < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --write-rate< / span > < / tt > and
< tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --write-burst< / span > < / tt > options.< / p >
< p > To rate limit per worker (thread), use < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --worker-read-rate< / span > < / tt > and
< tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --worker-read-burst< / span > < / tt > options. For writing, use
< tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --worker-write-rate< / span > < / tt > and < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --worker-write-burst< / span > < / tt > .< / p >
< p > If both per connection and per worker rate limit configurations are
specified, the lower rate is used.< / p >
< p > Please note that rate limit is performed on top of TCP and nothing to
do with HTTP/2 flow control.< / p >
