Module ngx_stream_pass_module

Example Configuration
Directives
     pass

The ngx_stream_pass_module module (1.25.5) allows passing the accepted connection directly to any configured listening socket in http, stream, mail, and other similar modules.

Example Configuration

http {
    server {
        listen 8000;

        location / {
            root html;
        }
    }
}

stream {
    server {
        listen 12345 ssl;

        ssl_certificate     domain.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key domain.key;

        pass 127.0.0.1:8000;
    }
}

In the example, after terminating SSL/TLS in the stream module the connection is passed to the http module.
