RE: [proxy-suite] Proxy of SSL sessions
::Without mirroring the frontend, you won't be buying them ::much, since SSL ::connections usually depend on sessions that expire, and they ::propably won't be ::cached because they would have expired on next use. I know the sessions won't be cached, it's literally, as long as they can be forced to use a specific route I can ensure that congestion is not a problem for the delivery of International Bandwidth to this user for this APP only. ::What you might be buying them is the caching of the cosmetic ::stuff, like the ::pictures and non-ssl pages. I definitely want to cache all images (the pages are .asp thereforee not cacheable) and this is where the proxy side of the question came in. ::Getting back to the question, I don't believe there is a way ::to cache SSL ::connections, or proxy them since they are supposed to be secure and ::non-reusable. (or am I missing the point here?) Nope, not missing the point, am trying to find a way is all. I originally thought to have a non-authenticated SSL session between the ZA proxy and the end user. The page they access consissts of one frame. this frame is a direct refereance to the end US/EU server front end page. Problem is I see no way once the SSL session is up to keep the traffic passing through the frame...
Barry There is something that caches asp pages, (Oracle 9iAS WebCache). If you use squid (and probably any other proxy), the SSL connection that the user 'sees' on his/her web browser is actually between the proxy and the user. The proxy then opens a persistent connection with the remote server (in the UK), and basically forwards the packets between the user and the server. It is a broker.
