Varnish is a good HTTP caching server, but with the rise of HTTPS and soon HTTP/2 I'm not sure it'll change since last time I heard its developers don't intend to support TLS at all.
- jdub 11y agoStill true, but you can use HAProxy (or Pound, or...) to terminate TLS, and pass the TCP connection through to Varnish 4.1 using the PROXY protocol (so you get the client IP).
- olavgg 11y agoGood read about Varnish and SSL(again). https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/phk/ssl_again.html https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/phk/ssl_again.html
- poooogles 11y agoI disagree, Poul-Henning Kamp's HTTPS/HTTP2 rant is well known, but he's not going to abandon the project. He has steered it to follow the unix ideals of doing one thing well. They (varnish) forked stud and bought it up to date as hitch [1] which covers TLS. At some point they will incorporate HTTP2 once the demand is there. https://github.com/varnish/hitch https://github.com/varnish/hitch
