Specify proxy URI in the form http://[USER:PASS]PROXY:PORT. USER and
PASS are optional and if they exist they must be properly
percent-encoded. This proxy is used when the backend connection is
SPDY. First, make a CONNECT request to the proxy and it connects to
the backend on behalf of shrpx. This forms tunnel. After that, shrpx
performs SSL/TLS handshake with the downstream through the tunnel. The
timeouts when connecting and making CONNECT request can be specified
by --backend-read-timeout and --backend-write-timeout options.
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.
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.
