# The www/nginx,passenger port

## nginx-1.0.15-passenger – robust and small HTTP server and mail proxy server

## Description

    nginx [engine x] is a HTTP server and mail proxy server.

    The basic HTTP features:
        * Handling of static files, index files, and autoindexing; open file
          descriptor cache.
        * Accelerated reverse proxying without caching, simple load balancing
          and fault tolerance.
        * Accelerated support without caching of remote FastCGI servers,
          simple load balancing and fault tolerance.
        * Modular architecture.  Filters include gzipping, byte ranges,
          chunked responses, and SSI.  Multiple SSI inclusions within a
          single page can be processed in parallel if they are handled by
          FastCGI or proxied servers.
        * SSL and TLS SNI support.

    Mail proxy server features:
        * User redirection to IMAP/POP3 backend using an external HTTP
          authentication server.
        * User authentication using an external HTTP authentication server
          and connection redirection to internal SMTP backend.
        * Authentication methods:
              o POP3: USER/PASS, APOP, AUTH LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5
              o IMAP: LOGIN, AUTH LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5
              o SMTP: AUTH LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5
        * SSL support.
        * STARTTLS and STLS support.
