I'm a fan of cloudflare, but I'm disappointed they didn't thank or mention nginx in this blog post. Cloudflare uses nginx, which recently released OCSP support

  But but but, cloudflare is making SSL 30% faster!@# :) And they're launching 30 data centers (oh wait, they're deploying some machines in a DC...) and blah blah blah. Sigh. Cloudflare is somewhat interesting, but very much still in the kiddie pool of CDNs.

    It's goal isn't to be a fully featured CDN, CloudFlare is a whole suite of tools, use what you want, if you have something better use them with CloudFlare.

  Hello! That's very true, thanks to Maxim Dounin from Nginx[1] And Ryan Hurst[2] from GlobalSign Making SSL faster is really important to be able to support "full https" websites, with HSTS headers[3] and Alternate-Protocol: spdy[4][5] full disclosure, I do work for CloudFlare and on this particular feature :) [1]http://nginx.com/news/nginx-ocsp-stapling.html http://nginx.com/news/nginx-ocsp-stapling.html [2]http://unmitigatedrisk.com/?p=100 http://unmitigatedrisk.com/?p=100 [3]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Strict_Transport_Security http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Strict_Transport_Security [4]http://www.chromium.org/spdy/spdy-protocol/spdy-protocol-draft2#TOC-Server-Advertisement-of-SPDY-through-the-HTTP-Alternate-Protocol-header http://www.chromium.org/spdy/spdy-protocol/spdy-protocol-dra...
