Hi, Tobias -- thanks very much for that.
So are you saying that I need some other software on there, too, to be
able to send on SSL requests?
You are not initializing SSL connections in this setup, AFAICS.
I had adapted my vcl file from this tutorial:
http://www.lullabot.com/articles/varnish-multiple-web-servers-drupal
The hope was that, whilst varnish doesn't handle SSL, I would be able
to forwards on requests on port 443 (SSL requests, obviously) to be
handled by the servers that varnish was caching for.
I'm not trying to have varnish handle the SSL authentication or
anything, just to pass the request on.
No, that is not possible. Varnish reads the HTTP-headers and so on, and
can not function as a "dumb" TCP-proxy.
However it is quite simple to setup NGINX to do the SSL-decryption, pass
it on to Varnish, and then hopefully get some caching done anyway.
