Pass

Allows passing the accepted connection directly to any configured listening socket in HTTP, Stream, or Mail modules.

Configuration Example

After the stream module handles the SSL/TLS termination, it forwards the connection to the http module:

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;
    }
}

Directives

pass

Syntax	pass address;
Default	—
Context	server

This directive sets the server address to which the client connection should be passed. The address can be given as an IP address and port:

pass 127.0.0.1:12345;

Or as a path to a UNIX domain socket:

pass unix:/tmp/stream.socket;

Also, the address can be set with variables:

pass $upstream;
