Has anyone had any luck configuring Passenger and nginx with SSL? I've spent hours trying to get this configuration working as I'd like, using what few resources there are out there on the net, and I can't get any of the supposedly forwarded headers to show up in the Rails controller.
For example, with a conf file of the following (and multiple variations thereof):
server {
listen 3000;
server_name .example.com;
root /Users/website/public;
passenger_enabled on;
rails_env development;
}
server {
listen 3443;
root /Users/website/public;
rails_env development;
passenger_enabled on;
ssl on;
#ssl_verify_client on;
ssl_certificate /Users/website/ssl/server.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /Users/website/ssl/server.key;
#ssl_client_certificate /Users/website/ssl/CA.crt;
ssl_session_timeout 5m;
ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1;
ssl_ciphers ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:-LOW:-SSLv2:-EXP;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X_FORWARDED_PROTO https;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
#proxy_set_header X-SSL-Subject $ssl_client_s_dn;
#proxy_set_header X-SSL-Issuer $ssl_client_i_dn;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;
}
and Rails code in the controller like this:
request.headers.each { |k, v|
RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.error "Header #{k} Val #{v}"
}
other headers appear, but not those set in nginx, e.g.:
Header rack.multithread Val false
Header REQUEST_URI Val /login/new
Header REMOTE_PORT Val 64021
Header rack.multiprocess Val true
Header PASSENGER_USE_GLOBAL_QUEUE Val false
Header PASSENGER_APP_TYPE Val rails
Header SCGI Val 1
Header SERVER_PORT Val 3443
Header HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET Val ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7
Header rack.request.query_hash Val
Header DOCUMENT_ROOT Val /Users/website/public
I've even gone so far as to modify Passenger's abstract_request_handler's main_loop method, i.e.,
headers, input = parse_request(client)
if headers
if headers[REQUEST_METHOD] == PING
process_ping(headers, input, client)
else
headers.each { |h,v|
log.unknown "abstract_request_handler: #{h} = #{v}"
}
process_request(headers, input, client)
end
end
only to find that the supposedly added headers do not exist there either:
abstract_request_handler: HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE = 300
abstract_request_handler: HTTP_USER_AGENT = Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5
abstract_request_handler: PASSENGER_SPAWN_METHOD = smart-lv2
abstract_request_handler: CONTENT_LENGTH = 0
abstract_request_handler: HTTP_IF_NONE_MATCH = "b6e8b9afbc1110ee3bf0c87e119252ad"
abstract_request_handler: HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE = en-us,en;q=0.5
abstract_request_handler: SERVER_PROTOCOL = HTTP/1.1
abstract_request_handler: HTTPS = on
abstract_request_handler: REMOTE_ADDR = 127.0.0.1
abstract_request_handler: SERVER_SOFTWARE = nginx/0.7.61
abstract_request_handler: SERVER_ADDR = 127.0.0.1
abstract_request_handler: SCRIPT_NAME =
abstract_request_handler: PASSENGER_ENVIRONMENT = development
abstract_request_handler: REMOTE_PORT = 64021
abstract_request_handler: REQUEST_URI = /login/new
abstract_request_handler: HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET = ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7
abstract_request_handler: SERVER_PORT = 3443
abstract_request_handler: SCGI = 1
abstract_request_handler: PASSENGER_APP_TYPE = rails
abstract_request_handler: PASSENGER_USE_GLOBAL_QUEUE = false
I'm tired of banging my head against the wall, so I'd truly appreciate any help I can get!
