I'm to understand that in order to use HAProxy with SSL, you need to
put something like STunnel in front of HAProxy to decrypt the SSL
stream. I suppose you could also use nginx, STunnel is more flexible
and could decrypt other protocols besides HTTP.
The current version of STunnel requires a patch to include the X-
Forwarded-For header when the request is an HTTPS request.
I'm developing an application stack for Node.js and I want to support
WebSockets. I'm developing for Ubuntu and it would be preferable to
use the stunnel4 package in Ubuntu, but it seems that a patch is
required to add the X-Forwarded-For header to make full use of HAProxy.
Questions:
* Is the STunnel in Ubuntu Lucid ready to go? (Maverick?) Can it be
made to work?
* If not, has someone repackaged stunnel4 with the X-Forwarded-For
patch applied?
* Is there an alternative to STunnel that would support WebSockets?
