The typical objection to edge caching HTTPS is that it requires giving your private key to a 3rd party. Well if you're hosting in the cloud, who do you think has your private key at the origin?
- stephenr 9y agoThe comment I replied to didn't say edge caching or reverse proxy - it said http caching. An edge/reverse proxy on the SaaS network doesn't solve 20 workstations in an office making requests over the internet to retrieve the same resource. A regular http proxy in that office does prevent 20 internet requests but it requires MITM for https to work.
