gollark: The main reason I like caddy is just that it does HTTPS conveniently, and I reshuffle subdomains and such a lot so that's quite helpful.
gollark: Apache uses some weird XMLy thing and also htaccess.
gollark: To be honest I'm kind of tempted to switch back to nginx, but its configuration is *also* somewhat annoying.
gollark: So I finished upgrading to caddy 2, and it hasn't resolved the websocket issue, irritatingly. I'm going to have to do more debugging on this tomorrow, because I can't really be bothered to do much more today after attempting to wrangle its somewhat annoying new config format.
gollark: This is a HTTPS server, so I need wireshark's TLS decryption feature.
