SSL and Reverse Proxying to Subsonic.
Posted: Sat Aug 27, 2011 3:55 amHi folks 
I'm currently putting Subsonic through its paces on some very modest hardware. Being Java based, I suspected Subsonic would be unable to handle 16,000 mp3s on an ALIX 2C3, but I was quite surprised to find memory usage hovering at around 120-130MB. I've disabled transcoding, naturally... The system idles at around 7w.
Now, the ALIX is running a debian derivative, subsonic has its own user/group for security reasons and is listening on high ports. I have Nginx on 80 and 443 (serving other content too). I set up Nginx to act as a reverse proxy with ssl support for subsonic. It works, but the additional load incurred by having Nginx handle SSL degrades performance. Does anyone know of a way to relay incoming connections on 443 to subsonic listening on 4443, without having the proxy handle SSL?
