I just want to make the distinction that I'm referring to Apache Traffic Server, and not Apache HTTPD. I should've called that out more explicitly.
I'm hesitant to use nginx as a reverse proxy cache because I think its strength and best supported use case is as a webserver. The configuration syntax is nice and clean, but proxy bugs like this scare me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11217477 ATS clearly anticipated that problem, so I give them kudos for that. https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/en/7.1.x/admin-guide/files/records.config.en.html#proxy-config-http-safe-requests-retryable Thanks, Greg On Thu, Dec 21, 2017 at 12:30 PM o1bigtenor <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Dec 21, 2017 at 9:21 AM, Greg Martyn via talk <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> >> Has anyone run Apache Traffic Server in production?
