the source with this module:
$ wget 'http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.20.2.tar.gz'
$ tar -xzvf nginx-1.20.2.tar.gz
$ cd nginx-1.20.2/

Description
This module actually include many modules: ngx_tcp_module,
ngx_tcp_core_module, ngx_tcp_upstream_module, ngx_tcp_proxy_module,
ngx_tcp_websocket_module, ngx_tcp_ssl_module,
ngx_tcp_upstream_ip_hash_module. All these modules work together to
support TCP proxy with Nginx. I also added other features: ip_hash,
upstream server health check, status monitor.
The motivation of writing these modules is Nginx's high performance and
robustness. At first, I developed this module just for general TCP
proxy. And now, this module is frequently used in websocket reverse
proxying.
Note, You can't use the same listening port with HTTP modules.

ssl_ciphers
syntax: *ssl_ciphers openssl_cipherlist_spec*
default: *ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5*
context: *tcp, server*
This directive describes the list of cipher suites the server supports
for establishing a secure connection. Cipher suites are specified in the
OpenSSL () cipherlist format,
for example:
ssl_ciphers ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP;
The complete cipherlist supported by the currently installed version of
OpenSSL in your platform can be obtained by issuing the command: openssl
ciphers
ssl_crl
syntax: *ssl_crl file*
default: *none*
context: *tcp, server*
This directive specifies the filename of a Certificate Revocation List,
in PEM format, which is used to check the revocation status of
certificates.
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers
syntax: *ssl_prefer_server_ciphers [on|off] *
default: *ssl_prefer_server_ciphers off*
context: *tcp, server*
The server requires that the cipher suite list for protocols SSLv3 and
TLSv1 are to be preferred over the client supported cipher suite list.
ssl_protocols
syntax: *ssl_protocols [SSLv2] [SSLv3] [TLSv1] [TLSv1.1] [TLSv1.2]*
default: *ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2*
context: *tcp, server*
This directive enables the protocol versions specified.
ssl_verify_client
syntax: *ssl_verify_client on|off|optional*
default: *ssl_verify_client off*
context: *tcp, server*
This directive enables the verification of the client identity.
Parameter 'optional' checks the client identity using its certificate in
case it was made available to the server.
ssl_verify_depth
syntax: *ssl_verify_depth number*
default: *ssl_verify_depth 1*
context: *tcp, server*
This directive sets how deep the server should go in the client provided
certificate chain in order to verify the client identity.
ssl_session_cache
syntax: *ssl_session_cache off|none|builtin:size and/or
shared:name:size*
default: *ssl_session_cache off*
context: *tcp, server*
The directive sets the types and sizes of caches to store the SSL
sessions.
The cache types are:
* off -- Hard off: nginx says explicitly to a client that sessions can
not reused.
* none -- Soft off: nginx says to a client that session can be reused,
but nginx actually never reuses them. This is workaround for some
mail clients as ssl_session_cache may be used in mail proxy as well
as in HTTP server.
* builtin -- the OpenSSL builtin cache, is used inside one worker
process only. The cache size is assigned in the number of the
sessions. Note: there appears to be a memory fragmentation issue
using this method, please take that into consideration when using
this. See "References" below.
* shared -- the cache is shared between all worker processes. The size
of the cache is assigned in bytes: 1 MB cache can contain roughly
4000 sessions. Each shared cache must be given an arbitrary name. A
shared cache with a given name can be used in several virtual hosts.
It's possible to use both types of cache — builtin and shared
— simultaneously, for example:
ssl_session_cache builtin:1000 shared:SSL:10m;
Bear in mind however, that using only shared cache, i.e., without
builtin, should be more effective.
ssl_session_timeout
syntax: *ssl_session_timeout time*
default: *ssl_session_timeout 5m*
context: *tcp, server*
This directive defines the maximum time during which the client can
re-use the previously negotiated cryptographic parameters of the secure
session that is stored in the SSL cache.
Compatibility
* My test bed is 0.7.65+
Notes
The http_response_parse.rl and smtp_response_parse.rl are ragel
() scripts , you can edit the script and
compile it like this:
$ ragel -G2 http_response_parse.rl
$ ragel -G2 smtp_response_parse.rl
TODO
* refact this module, make it more extendable for adding third-party
modules
* manipulate header like http module's proxy_set_header
* built-in variable support
* custom log format
* syslog support
* FTP/IRC proxying
Known Issues
* This module can't use the same listening port with the HTTP module.
