Socket Packaging

[Mike Kerner]

have a look at caddy. it allows you to reverse proxy and have the best of
both worlds:
* server traffic to and from caddy is in the clear, so less mess
* caddy handles all the cert silliness, while also giving you ssl to/from
the clients
we've been doing this for two years (maybe it's three, now). it works
great, and i never have to think about it.
also, the configuration was really, really simple.
