Configuring nginx for SSL SNI vhosts

Gotchas

• Note that SHA2 hash algorithm may be not supported on older systems (Windows XP, Windows 2003, among others).
• Be aware that mandatory https on SNI vhosts eliminate [Internet Explorer on Windows XP, among others] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication#Web_browsers.5B6.5D).

Remarks

• My version of konklones SSL config does not have SPDY support(my nginx+openssl does not support it)
• You need a default ssl server (example.org-default.conf).
• Some SSL-options have to be unique across your instance, so it's easier to have them in a common file(ssl.conf).

###The Issue With Forever Forever is great for running node services, with a minor setback: the word "forever" doesn't apply to system reboots.

###The solution, run node apps as a system service logged in as root

vim /etc/init/node-app.conf

Contents for node-app.conf

##The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly Ways of handling Async Operations With Javascript## #####Callbacks < Promises < Generators#####

###An Example: 5 in-sequence Async Operations### (also see parallel-sequence example: https://gist.github.com/willrstern/af3a3308fc5864cf48f8)

###The Ugly Way: Callbacks### After each function takes place, handle any errors & do the next thing - It's easy to walk through the code and understand what's going on...but it's ugly as sin

How to purge ('ban') an entire domain in Varnish Cache 3

#####EDIT: NB Ban is technically different from Purge. Banned objects remain in memory but banning is faster than purging. Read the Varnish 3 documentation here and here.

Purge may be a more appropriate action for your use-case; although the examples in the gist below work, it's not necessarily the best way of doing this.
