httpsify

Intro

A transparent HTTPS proxy with automatic certificate renewal using https://letsencrypt.org/

How it works ?

httpsify is a https reverse proxy ... [https request] --> httpsify --> [apache/nginx/nodejs/... etc] but this isn't the point because there are many https offloaders, but httpsify uses letsencrypt (https://letsencrypt.org/) for automatically generating free and valid ssl certificates, as well as auto renewal of certs, this web server by default uses HTTP/2 . you can say that httpsify is just a http/2 & letsencrypt wrapper for any http web server with no hassle, it just works .

Features

• SSL Offloader.
• HTTP/2 support.
• Multi-Core support.
• Auto-Renewal for generated certificates.
• Blazing fast.
• Very light.
• Portable and small ~ 2 MB
• No system requirements.
• No configurations required, just httpsify --domains="domain.com,www.domain.com,sub.domain.com"
• Passes X-Forwarded-* headers, X-Real-IP header and X-Remote-IP/X-Remote-Port to the backend server.

Installation

Currently the only available binaries are built for linux 386/amd64 and you can download them from here .

Building from source :

• Make sure you have Golang installed .
• go get github.com/alash3al/httpsify.
• go install github.com/alash3al/httpsify.
• make sure that $GOPATH/bin in your $PATH .

Quick Usage

lets say that you have extracted/built httpsify in the current working directory .

# this is the simplest way to run httpsify
# this will run a httpsify instance listening on port 443 and passing the incoming requests to http://localhost
# and building valid signed cerificates for the specified domains [they must be valid domain names]
./httpsify --domains="domain.tld,www.domain.tld,another.domain.tld"
