What it's for
This is for proxying http: images included in https: Dreamwidth pages. It's probably more useful (and usable) on stand-alone dev environments than on dreamhacks.
Building the proxy server
Code for the proxy is located in $LJHOME/src/proxy.
Build using go:
cd $LJHOME/src/proxy go build
That will create a binary called proxy
in $LJHOME/src/proxy
. Run that:
./proxy -salt_file=$LJHOME/ext/local/etc/proxy-salt
Proxy URL in your 'hack
To enable generation of the proxy URL in your 'hack, set these in your config:
$PROXY_SALT_FILE = "$HOME/ext/local/etc/proxy-salt"; $PROXY_URL = "https://proxy.hack.dw"; $USE_SSL = 1;
You'll need to create the proxy-salt file. Contents of proxy-salt are just a string, preferably long with randomly generated characters.
You'll also want something in front of the proxy to handle https negotiation. I recommend nginx. Sample config that will work:
server { listen 443 ssl; server_name proxy.hack.dw; sendfile off; location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6250; proxy_redirect off; } }
(for dev) Make sure you've also got an /etc/hosts entry for `proxy.hack.dw`.
