-t, --test tests the configuration
-v, --version prints the version number
-h, --help print this help
Configuration File:
The configuration file should be written in YAML format. Below is the list
of configuration directives; the flags indicate at which level the directives
can be used; g=global, h=host, p=path.
hosts: [g]
map of `host[:port]` -> map of per-host configs
paths: [h]
map of URL-path -> configuration
limit-request-body: [g]
maximum size of request body in bytes (e.g. content of POST)
(default: unlimited)
max-delegations: [g]
limits the number of delegations (i.e. internal redirects using the
`X-Reproxy-URL` header) (default: 5)
http1-request-timeout: [g]
timeout for incoming requests in seconds (default: 10)
http1-upgrade-to-http2: [g]
boolean flag (ON/OFF) indicating whether or not to allow upgrade to HTTP/2
(default: ON)
http2-idle-timeout: [g]
timeout for idle connections in seconds (default: 10)
http2-max-concurrent-requests-per-connection: [g]
max. number of requests to be handled concurrently within a single HTTP/2
stream (default: 16)
listen: [gh]
port at which the server should listen for incoming requests (mandatory)
- if the value is a scalar, it is treated as the port number (or as the
service name)
- if the value is a mapping, following properties are recognized:
port: incoming port number or service name (mandatory)
host: incoming address (default: any address)
ssl: mapping of SSL configuration using the keys below (default: none)
certificate-file: path of the SSL certificate file (mandatory)
key-file: path of the SSL private key file (mandatory)
minimum-version: minimum protocol version, should be one of: SSLv2,
SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2 (default: TLSv1)
cipher-suite: list of cipher suites to be passed to OpenSSL via
SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list (optional)
dh-file: PEM file of dhparam to use (optional)
ocsp-update-interval:
interval for updating the OCSP stapling data (in
seconds), or set to zero to disable OCSP stapling
(default: 14400 = 4 hours)
ocsp-max-failures:
number of consecutive OCSP queriy failures before
stopping to send OCSP stapling data to the client
(default: 3)
- if the value is a sequence, each element should be either a scalar or a
mapping that conform to the requirements above
user: [g]
user under with the server should handle incoming requests (default: none)
pid-file: [g]
name of the pid file (default: none)
max-connections: [g]
max connections (default: 1024)
num-threads: [g]
number of worker threads (default: getconf NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
num-name-resolution-threads: [g]
number of threads to run for name resolution (default: 32)
access-log: [ghp]
path and optionally the format of the access log (default: none)
- if the value is a scalar, it is treated as the path of the log file
- if the value is a mapping, its `path` property is treated as the path
and `format` property is treated as the format
- if the path starts with `|`, the rest of the path is considered as a
command pipe to which the logs should be emitted
following format strings are recognized:
%h: remote host
%l: remote logname (always '-')
%u: remote user (always '-')
%t: request time
%r: first line of request
%s: status
%b: size of the response body in bytes
%{Foobar}i: the contents of the request header `Foobar`
%{Foobar}o: the contents of the response header `Foobar`
expires: [ghp]
sets `Cache-Control: max-age` header (default: OFF)
- if the value is `OFF` then the feature is not used
- if the value is `<number> <unit>` then the header is set
- the units recognized are: `second`,`minute`,`hour`,`day`,`month`,`year`
- the units can also be in plural forms
example: `expires: 1 day` sets `Cache-Control: max-age=86400`
