Using --cacert to load certificate for client certificate authentication
is problematic since, --cacert is also used for client mode.
This commit adds --verify-client-cacert option which specify the CA
certficate file used only for client certificate validation.
This change also removes the default certficate load function for
client certificate validation.
Use --dh-param-file option to specify a file including DH parameters
in PEM format.
For example, you can create DH parameters with 1024 bit key using
following command:
$ openssl dhparam -outform PEM -out dhparam.pem 1024
This option specifies additional certificate and private key
file. Shrpx will choose certificates based on the hostname indicated
by client using TLS SNI extension. This option can be used multiple
times.
This avoids the need to provide the password for your
private key interactively.
It can be used via --private-key-passwd-file or private-key-passwd-file
in the given config file. The first line in the file
(without \n) will be treated as the passwd. There isn't
any validation and all lines after the first one (if any)
are ignored.
The security model behind this is a bit simplistic so I
am open to better ideas. Basically your password file
should be root:root (700) and you *should* drop root
and run as an unprivileged user.
If the file exists and a line can be read then a callback
will be set for the SSL ctxt and it'll feed the passwd
when the private key is read (if password is needed).
If the file exists with the wrong permisions it'll be
logged and ignored.
The -k, --insecure option is added to skip this verification. The
system wide trusted CA certificates will be loaded at startup. The
--cacert option is added to specify the trusted CA certificate file.
In client mode, now SPDY connection to the backend server is
established per thread. The frontend connections which belong to the
same thread share the SPDY connection.
With --client-mode option, shrpx now accepts unencrypted HTTP
connections and communicates with backend server in SPDY. In short,
this is the "reversed" operation mode against normal mode. This may
be useful for testing purpose because it can sit between HTTP client
and shrpx "normal" mode.
The reason why we choose SPDY/2 as default for SPDY prxy was due to
Chrome's window update bug. Now its fix is available in Chrome stable,
we make SPDY/3 as default.
To distinguish the to-be-installed programs and non-installable
example source code, the former programs, spdycat, spdydyd and shrpx,
were moved to src directory. spdynative was removed from Makefile
because it does not appeal to any users much.
