ngx_stream_pass_module - Module ngx_stream_pass_module




=head1



The C<ngx_stream_pass_module> module (1.25.5) allows
passing the accepted connection directly to any configured listening socket
in C<http>, C<stream>, C<mail>,
and other similar modules.




=head1 Example Configuration




    
    http {
        server {
            listen 8000;
    
            location / {
                root html;
            }
        }
    }
    
    stream {
        server {
            listen 12345 ssl;
    
            ssl_certificate     domain.crt;
            ssl_certificate_key domain.key;
    
            pass 127.0.0.1:8000;
        }
    }


In the example,
after terminating SSLE<sol>TLS in the C<stream> module
the connection is passed to the C<http> module.
