For what it's worth, here is the original thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13011120 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13011120 This should definitely meet our needs in both cases: serving prerendered content when necessary, and also adding the security headers to the front end. And it's definitely a 10x better solution than having an extra EC2 instance with your private certs on it, just to run an nginx proxy with twenty lines of code.

Wait, by "original thread" are you implying this feature was thrown together in the past week and a half since you asked that question?

  Yes, the HN thread is prominent in the article.

    Ah, OK: the answer is "no" (as the question did not lead to the feature), not "yes" ;P; and also "I am dumb" (FWIW, I actually got to this thread by searching for it after already knowing about @Edge, so I didn't even click the article link: I saw the @Edge stuff today in the ECS FAQ, searched for it on Google and saw it had been announced 15 minutes earlier, and then came to HN to read comments about it).

Other customers have also let us know that they want to customize their end user experience by making quick decisions out at the edge. It was in the pipeline already I guess.

    It's not supported in IE 6 on any OS, or any IE version on Windows XP or before (has to be supported by both the browser and the underlying network stack). Also not supported on Android < 3.x.

      Most companies I've worked with in the past year or so have made the decision that SNI support is good enough and have switched.
