[Answered] Proxy for non-http traffics
Added by narke over 8 years ago
I am already running a lighttpd web side on an embedded device. In additional to web access, the device still run other tcp server applications, such as sshd and some of private-protocol applications. However, in some circumstances, the device can only be accessed via a single tcp port, say 80, from outside of the firewall. I see mod_proxy and fastcgi modules can do some proxy related tasks, so is there a hope that they can also provide features as what I just described?
Thanks in advance.

mod_proxy is for HTTP proxying, it cannot support arbitrary TCP services.
I don't know what the solution is for you.
You'd maybe need to look into some form of tunnel brokering software, or if you control the firewall you could perhaps set up a port knocking daemon which allows you to pierce through the firewall to access the native port.

See #2060 for experimental code to handle HTTP CONNECT method. YMMV.
