Question & Answer
Question
Web Reverse Proxy has some timeout configuration.
One of them is client-connect-timeout.
According to the figure 1 in manual pages (links are in the related URL section), client-connect-timeout is used between after "Connect" and until "Request 1 - fragment 1".
How is this explanation applied to HTTPS?
Answer
"Connect" in the figure is TCP/IP's 3 way handshake, which happens in both HTTP and HTTPS.
client-connect-timeout is used until the first byte of data is received after the 3 way handshake.
To achieve SSL/TLS connection, SSL/TLS handshake is required, and it needs to be finished before the first HTTP request is received. So, in SSL/TLS case, once SSL/TLS handshake is started, timeout between each data fragment is controlled by intra-connection-timeout.
This negotiation is not explicitly described in the figure in the manual. For more accurate explanation, refer the figure attached below instead.
