This is the only reliable way of doing HTTPS, and will be the method I use to attack this problem. Basic SSL termination should work fairly well with this, but we will likely need to do some network trickery to make this work as we want. We don't want to run the SSL termination on the same hardware as our non-SSL proxies, as we'd have to optimize for two different workloads, so we are currently looking at doing this as a separate cluster. I don't have a timeframe for completion, but I hope to work on this at some point soon. - Ryan _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
