Support for HTTPS backends was added in Pound 2.5c.
You configure in a backend group by using the HTTPS Directive. From the Pound
manual page:
BackEnd
A back-end is a definition of a single back-end server Pound will use to
reply to incoming requests. All configuration directives enclosed between
BackEnd and End
are specific to a single service. The following directives are available:
Address address
The address that Pound will connect to. This can be a numeric IP
address, or a symbolic host name that must be resolvable at run-time. If the
name cannot be
resolved to a valid address, Pound will assume that it represents
the path for a Unix-domain socket. This is a mandatory parameter.
Port port
The port number that Pound will connect to. This is a mandatory
parameter for non Unix-domain back-ends.
HTTPS [ "cert" ]
The back-end is using HTTPS. If the optional parameter cert is
specified, Pound will present this certificate to the back-end.
Priority val
The priority of this back-end (between 1 and 9, 5 is
default). Higher priority back-ends will be used more often than lower priority
ones, so you should
define higher priorities for more capable servers.
TimeOut val
Override the global TimeOut value.
ConnTO val
Override the global ConnTO value.
HAport [ address ] port
A port (and optional address) to be used for server function
checks. See below the "High Availability" section for a more detailed
discussion. By default
Pound uses the same address as the back-end server, but you may
use a separate address if you wish. This directive applies only to non
Unix-domain servers.
