Notes

gollark: Also, generally what you do is have the reverse proxy handle SSL (well, TLS) connections itself, and then forward it on to backends unencrypted (or possibly encrypted in some situations, I guess).
gollark: Ah, use `ProxyPassReverse` instead.
gollark: Some stuff needs that.
gollark: Maybe send x-forwarded-for headers.
gollark: Sounds like something is probably trying to be *clever* somewhere.
