Implements "on-demand TLS" as I call it, which means obtaining TLS certificates on-the-fly during TLS handshakes if a certificate for the requested hostname is not already available. Only the first request for a new hostname will experience higher latency; subsequent requests will get the new certificates right out of memory.
Code still needs lots of cleanup but the feature is basically working.
I've built this on Go 1.6 beta 1 and made some changes to be more compatible. Namely, I removed the use of the /x/net/http2 package and let net/http enable h2 by default; updated the way h2 is disabled (if the user requires it); moved TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV to the front of the cipher suites list (all values not accepted by http2 must go after those allowed by it); removed the NextProto default of http/1.1; set the http.Server.TLSConfig value to the TLS config used by the listener (we left it nil before, but this prevents automatic enabling of h2).
It is very likely there is more to do, but at least already Caddy uses HTTP/2 when built with Go 1.6.
This change fixes the scenario where you reload the config and it tries to obtain a cert from the ACME server, but no email address is found or terms have not been agreed to in-process. This is unfortunate but it should not stop the server from reloading, so we assume empty email address in this case.
It is unexpected to serve localhost on port 443 or any server on 443 if TLS is disabled, even if the port is blank. Also don't warn about how to force TLS on the HTTP port.
The docs link to this structure and all its methods related to the browse template; keeping them together makes it possible to link to the whole block of code that is relevant.
Before, Caddy couldn't support graceful (zero-downtime) restarts when the reloaded Caddyfile had a host in it that was elligible for a LE certificate because the port was already in use. This commit makes it possible to do zero-downtime reloads and issue certificates for new hosts that need it. Supports only http-01 challenge at this time.
OCSP stapling is improved in that it updates before the expiration time when the validity window has shifted forward. See 30c949085c. Before it only used to update when the status changed.
This commit also sets the user agent for Let's Encrypt requests with a string containing "Caddy".
