If the linked OpenSSL is configured to load system wide certificates, they are loaded at startup regardless of this option. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-private\-key\-passwd\-file= Path to file that contains password for the server\(aqs private key. If none is given and the private key is password protected it\(aqll be requested interactively. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-subcert=: Specify additional certificate and private key file. nghttpx will choose certificates based on the hostname indicated by client using TLS SNI extension.

To make OCSP stapling work, must be absolute path. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-backend\-tls\-sni\-field= Explicitly set the content of the TLS SNI extension. This will default to the backend HOST name. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-dh\-param\-file= Path to file that contains DH parameters in PEM format. Without this option, DHE cipher suites are not available. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-npn\-list= Comma delimited list of ALPN protocol identifier sorted in the order of preference. That means most desirable protocol comes first. This is used in both ALPN and NPN.

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. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-fetch\-ocsp\-response\-file= Path to fetch\-ocsp\-response script file.

SPDY frontend does not support server push. .UNINDENT .SS Mode .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B (default mode) Accept HTTP/2, SPDY and HTTP/1.1 over SSL/TLS. If \fI\%\-\-frontend\-no\-tls\fP is used, accept HTTP/2 and HTTP/1.1. The incoming HTTP/1.1 connection can be upgraded to HTTP/2 through HTTP Upgrade. The protocol to the backend is HTTP/1.1. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-s, \-\-http2\-proxy Like default mode, but enable secure proxy mode. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-http2\-bridge Like default mode, but communicate with the backend in HTTP/2 over SSL/TLS. Thus the incoming all connections are converted to HTTP/2 connection and relayed to the backend.

If a unit is omitted, a second is used as unit. .SH FILES .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \fI/etc/nghttpx/nghttpx.conf\fP The default configuration file path nghttpx searches at startup. The configuration file path can be changed using \fI\%\-\-conf\fP option. .sp Those lines which are staring \fB#\fP are treated as comment. .sp The option name in the configuration file is the long command\-line option name with leading \fB\-\-\fP stripped (e.g., \fBfrontend\fP). Put \fB=\fP between option name and value. Don\(aqt put extra leading or trailing spaces. .sp The options which do not take argument in the command\-line \fItake\fP argument in the configuration file. Specify \fByes\fP as an argument (e.g., \fBhttp2\-proxy=yes\fP). If other string is given, it is ignored. .sp To specify private key and certificate file which are given as positional arguments in command\-line, use \fBprivate\-key\-file\fP and \fBcertificate\-file\fP\&. .sp \fI\%\-\-conf\fP option cannot be used in the configuration file and will be ignored if specified. .UNINDENT .SH SIGNALS .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B SIGQUIT Shutdown gracefully.

It will execute the binary in the same path with same command\-line arguments and environment variables. After new process comes up, sending SIGQUIT to the original process to perform hot swapping. .UNINDENT .SH SERVER PUSH .sp nghttpx supports HTTP/2 server push in default mode. nghttpx looks for Link header field (\fI\%RFC 5988\fP) in response headers from backend server and extracts URI\-reference with parameter \fBrel=preload\fP (see \fI\%preload\fP) and pushes those URIs to the frontend client. Here is a sample Link header field to initiate server push: .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C Link: ; rel=preload Link: ; rel=preload .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Currently, the following restrictions are applied for server push: .INDENT 0.0 .IP 1. 3 URI\-reference must not contain authority. If it exists, it is not pushed. \fB/fonts/font.woff\fP and \fBcss/theme.css\fP are eligible to be pushed. \fBhttps://example.org/fonts/font.woff\fP and \fB//example.org/css/theme.css\fP are not. .IP 2. 3 The associated stream must have method "GET" or "POST". The associated stream\(aqs status code must be 200. .UNINDENT .sp These limitations may be loosened in the future release. .SH UNIX DOMAIN SOCKET .sp nghttpx supports UNIX domain socket with a filename for both frontend and backend connections. .sp Please note that current nghttpx implementation does not delete a socket with a filename. And on start up, if nghttpx detects that the specified socket already exists in the file system, nghttpx first deletes it. However, if SIGUSR2 is used to execute new binary and both old and new configurations use same filename, new binary does not delete the socket and continues to use it. .SH OCSP STAPLING .sp OCSP query is done using external perl script \fBfetch\-ocsp\-response\fP, which has been developed as part of h2o project (\fI\%https://github.com/h2o/h2o\fP). .sp The script file is usually installed under \fB$(prefix)/share/nghttp2/\fP directory. The actual path to script can be customized using \fI\%\-\-fetch\-ocsp\-response\-file\fP option. .SH SEE ALSO .sp \fInghttp(1)\fP, \fInghttpd(1)\fP, \fIh2load(1)\fP .SH AUTHOR Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa .SH COPYRIGHT 2012, 2015, Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa .\" Generated by docutils manpage writer. .
