To connect through SSL you sill have to use ngx_event_connect_peer(), and then have to use appropriate functions (ngx_ssl_create_connection(), ngx_ssl_handshake(), and so on) to initiate an SSL handshake. Once handshake is complete, you can use the connection much like any other connection in nginx, using c->send(), c->send_chain() and so on. Take a look on the ngx_http_upstream.c on how to do this properly. -- Maxim Dounin http://nginx.org/ _______________________________________________ nginx-devel mailing list nginx-devel@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx-devel
