Hello,
I plan to set up two servers for a training purpose : one frontend, one
database.
I created a tcp server but I need to be sure of the idea :
Be F the frontend and B the backend.
when a client will make a request, it will hit F first (nginx + https
involved) then will ask B to process the query with adding a
x-forward-for
header not to lose the real client ip and port.
Then my tcp server will retrieve those headers, then ask the script to
perform the database connection/query… via fastcgi.
Then what should I do ? Should I just send a request back to nginxwith
the
afformentioned headers and nginx will set it out properly and re-encrypt
the
connection ?
I am a bit lost here but I need to improve myself on this field.
Thanks
Is it how it works ?
