Greeting All,
I have been experimenting with pound specify https/ssl reverse proxy. I know that not all browsers and or OS's are SNI compatible. And we all know that IE any version on XP is not compatible with SNI, I even tested it thru: https://sni.velox.ch/ to confirm this and yes it confirmed that SNI was not send by IE on XP. But for some strange reason in my development environment https requests from my IE on XP are routed properly by pound reverse proxy. It is not supposed to work. I even reset/"set to default" and deleted all the configuration on my IE browser and it still continues to work, which is a good news for me. I was just curious if anyone had experienced this same issue. And how dose pound know where to route this request???? This is IE8 on XP. Here is my pound.cfg if anyone is interested: ## Configure services and backends for the HTTP reverse proxy. ListenHTTP Address 192.168.1.39 Port 80 Service HeadRequire "Host: .*www.twelve.com.*" BackEnd Address 192.168.12.50 Port 80 End End Service HeadRequire "Host: .*www.sixty.com.*" BackEnd Address 192.168.60.50 Port 80 End End End ## ## Configure services and backends for the HTTPS reverse proxy. ListenHTTPS Address 192.168.1.39 Port 443 Cert "/etc/ssl/certs/12.pem" Cert "/etc/ssl/certs/60.pem" Service HeadRequire "Host: .*www.twelve.com.*" BackEnd Address 192.168.12.50 Port 80 End End Service HeadRequire "Host: .*www.sixty.com.*" BackEnd Address 192.168.60.50 Port 80 End End End
