Openssl library, whereas WStunnel would be using the non-hardened Go SSL implementation.

The recommendedĪpproach for using WSS (web sockets through SSL) is to use nginx, which uses the well-hardened WStunnel does not support SSL natively (although that would not be a big change). As websocket connections are very long lived, please set read timeouts on your proxy as high as possible. For example, -proxy In addition, the command line client will also respect the https_proxy/http_proxy environment variables if they're set.

Basic authentication may be used if the username and password are embedded in the url. WStunnel client may use a proxy as long as that proxy supports HTTPS CONNECT. The host in the -server option does not have to match the regexp but it is recommended for it match. Note the use of -server and -regexp, this is because the server named in -server is used when there is no X-Host header.

Or to allow access to and over http you might use: For example, to allow access to *. over https use:

For this purpose the original HTTP client must pass an X-Host header to name the host and WStunnel client must be configured with a regexp that limits the destination web server hostnames it allows. The above example tells WStunnel client to only forward requests to It is possible to allow the wstunnel to target multiple hosts too.

In addition to the above functionality, wstunnel does some queuing in WStunnel server receives it and hands it back to HTTP-client on the still-open original WStunnel client receives the HTTP response and forwards that back through the tunnel, where.WStunnel client receives the request and issues the request to the local server.WStunnel server forwards the request through the tunnel to WStunnel client.HTTP-client makes an HTTP request to WStunnel server with a std URI and a header.WStunnel client announces its token to the WStunnel server.WStunnel client connects to the WStunnel server using WSS or HTTPS and verifies the.WStunnel client is initialized with a token, which typically is a sizeable random string,Īnd the hostname of the WStunnel server to connect to.Tokens that are registered by the WStunnel client.
