This makes it more convenient to configure quick proxies that use HTTPS
but also introduces a lot of logical complexity. We have to do a lot of
verification for consistency and errors.
Path and query string is not supported (i.e. no rewriting).
Scheme and port can be inferred from each other if HTTP(S)/80/443.
If omitted, defaults to HTTP.
Any explicit transport config must be consistent with the upstream
schemes, and the upstream schemes must all match too.
But, this change allows a config that used to require this:
reverse_proxy example.com:443 {
transport http {
tls
}
}
to be reduced to this:
reverse_proxy https://example.com
which is really nice syntactic sugar (and is reminiscent of Caddy 1).
Allows specifying ca certs with by filename in
`reverse_proxy.transport`.
Example
```
reverse_proxy /api api:443 {
transport http {
tls
tls_trusted_ca_certs certs/rootCA.pem
}
}
```
This commit goes a long way toward making automated documentation of
Caddy config and Caddy modules possible. It's a broad, sweeping change,
but mostly internal. It allows us to automatically generate docs for all
Caddy modules (including future third-party ones) and make them viewable
on a web page; it also doubles as godoc comments.
As such, this commit makes significant progress in migrating the docs
from our temporary wiki page toward our new website which is still under
construction.
With this change, all host modules will use ctx.LoadModule() and pass in
both the struct pointer and the field name as a string. This allows the
reflect package to read the struct tag from that field so that it can
get the necessary information like the module namespace and the inline
key.
This has the nice side-effect of unifying the code and documentation. It
also simplifies module loading, and handles several variations on field
types for raw module fields (i.e. variations on json.RawMessage, such as
arrays and maps).
I also renamed ModuleInfo.Name -> ModuleInfo.ID, to make it clear that
the ID is the "full name" which includes both the module namespace and
the name. This clarity is helpful when describing module hierarchy.
As of this change, Caddy modules are no longer an experimental design.
I think the architecture is good enough to go forward.
This PR enables the use of placeholders in an upstream's Dial address.
A Dial address must represent precisely one socket after replacements.
