NAME
----
nghttpx - HTTP/2 experimental proxy
SYNOPSIS
--------
**nghttpx** [OPTIONS]... [<PRIVATE_KEY> <CERT>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
A reverse proxy for HTTP/2, HTTP/1 and SPDY.
.. option:: PRIVATE_KEY
Set path to server's private key. Required
unless :option:`-p`, :option:`--client` or :option:`--frontend-no-tls` are
given.
.. option:: CERT
Set path to server's certificate. Required
unless :option:`-p`, :option:`--client` or :option:`--frontend-no-tls` are
given.
OPTIONS
-------
The options are categorized into several groups.
Connections
^^^^^^^^^^^
.. option:: -b, --backend=<HOST,PORT>
Set backend host and port.
Default: '127.0.0.1,80'
.. option:: -f, --frontend=<HOST,PORT>
Set frontend host and port. If <HOST> is '\*', it
assumes all addresses including both IPv4 and
IPv6.
Default: '\*,3000'
.. option:: --backlog=<NUM>
Set listen backlog size. If -1 is given,
libevent will choose suitable value.
Default: -1
.. option:: --backend-ipv4
Resolve backend hostname to IPv4 address only.
.. option:: --backend-ipv6
Resolve backend hostname to IPv6 address only.
.. option:: --backend-http-proxy-uri=<URI>
Specify proxy URI in the form
http://[<USER>:<PASS>@]<PROXY>:<PORT>. If a
proxy requires authentication, specify <USER> and
<PASS>. Note that they must be properly
percent-encoded. This proxy is used when the
backend connection is HTTP/2. First, make a
CONNECT request to the proxy and it connects to
the backend on behalf of nghttpx. This forms
tunnel. After that, nghttpx performs SSL/TLS
handshake with the downstream through the tunnel.
The timeouts when connecting and making CONNECT
request can be specified by
:option:`--backend-read-timeout` and
:option:`--backend-write-timeout` options.
Performance
^^^^^^^^^^^
.. option:: -n, --workers=<CORES>
Set the number of worker threads.
Default: 1
.. option:: --read-rate=<RATE>
Set maximum average read rate on frontend
connection. Setting 0 to this option means read
rate is unlimited.
Default: 0
.. option:: --read-burst=<SIZE>
Set maximum read burst size on frontend
connection. Setting 0 does not work, but it is
not a problem because --read-rate=0 will give
unlimited read rate regardless of this option
value.
Default: 1073741824
.. option:: --write-rate=<RATE>
Set maximum average write rate on frontend
connection. Setting 0 to this option means write
rate is unlimited.
Default: 0
.. option:: --write-burst=<SIZE>
Set maximum write burst size on frontend
connection. Setting 0 to this option means write
burst size is unlimited.
Default: 0
.. option:: --worker-read-rate=<RATE>
Set maximum average read rate on frontend
connection per worker. Setting 0 to this option
means read rate is unlimited.
Default: 0
.. option:: --worker-read-burst=<SIZE>
Set maximum read burst size on frontend
connection per worker. Setting 0 to this option
means read burst size is unlimited.
Default: 0
.. option:: --worker-write-rate=<RATE>
Set maximum average write rate on frontend
connection per worker. Setting 0 to this option
means write rate is unlimited.
Default: 0
.. option:: --worker-write-burst=<SIZE>
Set maximum write burst size on frontend
connection per worker. Setting 0 to this option
means write burst size is unlimited.
Default: 0
.. option:: --worker-frontend-connections=<NUM>
Set maximum number of simultaneous connections
frontend accepts. Setting 0 means unlimited.
Default: 0
.. option:: --backend-connections-per-frontend=<NUM>
Set maximum number of backend simultaneous
connections per frontend. This option is
meaningful when the combination of HTTP/2 or SPDY
frontend and HTTP/1 backend is used.
Default: 100

option is meant for debugging purpose and not
intended to enhance protocol security.
Mode
^^^^
.. describe:: (default mode)
Accept HTTP/2, SPDY and HTTP/1.1 over SSL/TLS.
If :option:`--frontend-no-tls` 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.
.. option:: -s, --http2-proxy
Like default mode, but enable secure proxy mode.
.. option:: --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. See
:option:`--backend-http-proxy-uri` option if you are behind
the proxy and want to connect to the outside
HTTP/2 proxy.
.. option:: --client
Accept HTTP/2 and HTTP/1.1 without SSL/TLS. The
incoming HTTP/1.1 connection can be upgraded to
HTTP/2 connection through HTTP Upgrade. The
protocol to the backend is HTTP/2. To use
nghttpx as a forward proxy, use :option:`-p` option
instead.
.. option:: -p, --client-proxy
Like :option:`--client` option, but it also requires the
request path from frontend must be an absolute
URI, suitable for use as a forward proxy.
Logging
^^^^^^^
.. option:: -L, --log-level=<LEVEL>
Set the severity level of log output. <LEVEL>
must be one of INFO, WARNING, ERROR and FATAL.
Default: WARNING
.. option:: --accesslog-file=<PATH>
Set path to write access log. To reopen file,
send USR1 signal to nghttpx.
.. option:: --accesslog-syslog
Send access log to syslog. If this option is
used, :option:`--access-file` option is ignored.
.. option:: --errorlog-file=<PATH>
Set path to write error log. To reopen file,
send USR1 signal to nghttpx.
Default: /dev/stderr
.. option:: --errorlog-syslog
Send error log to syslog. If this option is
used, :option:`--errorlog-file` option is ignored.
.. option:: --syslog-facility=<FACILITY>
Set syslog facility to <FACILITY>.
Default: daemon
Misc
^^^^
.. option:: --add-x-forwarded-for
Append X-Forwarded-For header field to the
downstream request.
.. option:: --strip-incoming-x-forwarded-for
Strip X-Forwarded-For header field from inbound
client requests.
.. option:: --no-via
Don't append to Via header field. If Via header
field is received, it is left unaltered.
.. option:: --no-location-rewrite
Don't rewrite location header field on
:option:`--http2-bridge`, :option:`--client` and default mode. For
:option:`--http2-proxy` and :option:`--client-proxy` mode, location
header field will not be altered regardless of
this option.
.. option:: --altsvc=<PROTOID,PORT[,HOST,[ORIGIN]]>
Specify protocol ID, port, host and origin of
alternative service. <HOST> and <ORIGIN> are
optional. They are advertised in alt-svc header
field or HTTP/2 ALTSVC frame. This option can be
used multiple times to specify multiple
alternative services. Example: --altsvc=h2,443
.. option:: --add-response-header=<HEADER>
Specify additional header field to add to
response header set. This option just appends
header field and won't replace anything already
set. This option can be used several times to
specify multiple header fields.
Example: --add-response-header="foo: bar"
.. option:: --frontend-http2-dump-request-header=<PATH>
Dumps request headers received by HTTP/2 frontend
to the file denoted in <PATH>. The output is
done in HTTP/1 header field format and each
header block is followed by an empty line. This
option is not thread safe and MUST NOT be used
with option -n<N>, where <N> >= 2.
.. option:: --frontend-http2-dump-response-header=<PATH>
Dumps response headers sent from HTTP/2 frontend
to the file denoted in <PATH>. The output is
done in HTTP/1 header field format and each
header block is followed by an empty line. This
option is not thread safe and MUST NOT be used
with option -n<N>, where <N> >= 2.
.. option:: -o, --frontend-frame-debug
Print HTTP/2 frames in frontend to stderr. This
option is not thread safe and MUST NOT be used
with option -n=N, where N >= 2.
.. option:: -D, --daemon

working directory is changed to '/'.
.. option:: --pid-file=<PATH>
Set path to save PID of this program.
.. option:: --user=<USER>
Run this program as <USER>. This option is
intended to be used to drop root privileges.
.. option:: --conf=<PATH>
