gollark: What about them? Those are HTTP things too.

gollark: There's a DNS SRV record thing which might be relevant but I have no idea if/how it works.

gollark: It would be sent somewhere else, and there's caching.

gollark: There isn't really, because if you're just dealing with random TCP streams I don't think they have a similar thing to the HTTP Host header, which tells you what domain ~~you~~ the client wants to access.

gollark: caddy is a newer and trendier one which does nice stuff like HTTPS without having to use an external program like certbot, but in my opinion v2 made configuring it quite annoying.
