Hi -- I'm an nginx newbie who is looking to maybe use nginx to provide security for an HTTP service that previously ran in a trusted environment, but that now needs to run on the open web. I was thinking of having nginx listen on an arbitrary port, authenticate requests to the service on that port, then proxy them on to the service. I guess my first question is -- is this a correct use of nginx? My research so far suggests that it is. And my second question is -- what is the best way to achieve this? I thought maybe encrypting a username and password as part of the request (in a cookie?) and using agentzh might be an approach, but I am rather out of my depth, and would really appreciate any tips or references to docs that might help we work it all out. Or if anyone's read a good book that covers this, that would be a very appreciated recommendation! :) Thanks very much, Doug.
