Caddy proxy server

ACDC

Anyone running Caddy as a proxy server under Windows ?
Initially this seemed to be a simple implementation but not so.

Is there any unique settings in Tomcat\server.xml setup from an AwareIM perspective

ACDC been using it for 2 to 3 years without fail.
Incredibly easy.
So much less complicated than nginx.

I got most of it working now , just wondering about REST activities and document uploads.

The Lets Encrypt setup is amazing. SSL yearly maintenance is a ball ache . This takes care of it

I have noticed the cookie is not being secured going through the proxy Server. Any idea how to sort this one out

Okay, found the solution (thanks to ChatGPT)
Because the proxy server talks to AwareIM on 8080 unsecured port, AwareIM does not secure the cookie.

So to resolve this, server.xml must be edited
Find the <Connector> element for port 8080, and add a remoteIpValve and the proxy attributes like so:

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
            address="127.0.0.1"
           connectionTimeout="20000"
           redirectPort="8443"
           proxyName="yourserver.com"
           proxyPort="443"
           scheme="https"
           secure="true" />

Optional: Add RemoteIpValve for more robust proxy header handling

Just above <Engine> in server.xml, add:

<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteIpValve"
       internalProxies=".*"
       protocolHeader="X-Forwarded-Proto"
       protocolHeaderHttpsValue="https"
       portHeader="X-Forwarded-Port"
/>

This works for me
