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

<h2>SERVER PUSH<a class="headerlink" href="#server-push" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>nghttpx supports HTTP/2 server push in default mode. nghttpx looks
for Link header field (<a class="reference external" href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5988">RFC 5988</a>) in response headers from
backend server and extracts URI-reference with parameter
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">rel=preload</span></tt> (see <a class="reference external" href="http://w3c.github.io/preload/#interoperability-with-http-link-header">preload</a>)
and pushes those URIs to the frontend client. Here is a sample Link
header field to initiate server push:</p>
<div class="highlight-http"><div class="highlight"><pre>Link: &lt;/fonts/font.woff&gt;; rel=preload
Link: &lt;/css/theme.css&gt;; rel=preload
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Currently, the following restrictions are applied for server push:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>URI-reference must not contain authority. If it exists, it is not
pushed. <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/fonts/font.woff</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">css/theme.css</span></tt> are eligible to
be pushed. <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">https://example.org/fonts/font.woff</span></tt> and
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">//example.org/css/theme.css</span></tt> are not.</li>
<li>The associated stream must have method &quot;GET&quot; or &quot;POST&quot;. The
associated stream's status code must be 200.</li>
</ol>
<p>These limitations may be loosened in the future release.</p>

<h2>UNIX DOMAIN SOCKET<a class="headerlink" href="#unix-domain-socket" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>nghttpx supports UNIX domain socket with a filename for both frontend
and backend connections.</p>
<p>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.</p>
