SSL Proxy

sslproxy is a Jetty based proxy-server to serve image files from non-secure domains, securely to one’s client. Thus, clients at https://example.com can access a resource at http://someotherdomain.com/image.png over SSL using a proxy at say, https://proxy.example.com/hash/key.

This allows to make sure that your users always view the green lock and never a yellow lock in the browser’s address bar due to insecure content.

The project is based on the awesome https://github.com/atmos/camo project that Github uses to make its assets look secure. However, we only support the URL format of

http://server/security-code/base-64-url

Features

• Adds cache headers for one year
• Rejects all non-image proxy requests
