bip through a http reverse-proxy
0%
Description
Hello
Is it possible that the connection to the bip server occurs through a reverse proxy (nginx) ?
Like :
server {
listen 80;
server_name irc.foo.bar;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
location / {
proxy_pass http://bipserver:7778 ;
include /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
}
}
Thanks.

No. The protocol used between IRC clients and bip server is IRC. I don't understand the use case.

Hello,
Isn't it a problem with your IRC Client's proxy configuration ?
Bip will send/get packet to/from nginx like it was the IRC client, there nothing to do in Bip side.
It's the IRC client which must connect to the reverse proxy (in thunderbird : Edition -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Network and ? -> Parameters -> [your proxy configuration]).
I can be wrong, but with a reverse proxy, there is nothing to do in the server-side, only in the client-side.

You can achieve what you want by setting up a stream load balancer in nginx:

As said before, this is not a bip issue, so closing this.
