+## HTTP-01 ACME Challenge Fix (v19.3.8)
+
+### Issue
+Non-TLS connections on ports configured in `useHttpProxy` were not being forwarded to HttpProxy. This caused ACME HTTP-01 challenges to fail when the ACME port (usually 80) was included in `useHttpProxy`.
+
+### Root Cause
+In the `RouteConnectionHandler.handleForwardAction` method, only connections with TLS settings (mode: 'terminate' or 'terminate-and-reencrypt') were being forwarded to HttpProxy. Non-TLS connections were always handled as direct connections, even when the port was configured for HttpProxy.
+
+### Solution
+Added a check for non-TLS connections on ports listed in `useHttpProxy`:
+```typescript
+// No TLS settings - check if this port should use HttpProxy
+const isHttpProxyPort = this.settings.useHttpProxy?.includes(record.localPort);
+
+if (isHttpProxyPort && this.httpProxyBridge.getHttpProxy()) {
+  // Forward non-TLS connections to HttpProxy if configured
+  this.httpProxyBridge.forwardToHttpProxy(/*...*/);
+  return;
+}
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+- `test/test.http-fix-unit.ts` - Unit tests verifying the fix
+- Tests confirm that non-TLS connections on HttpProxy ports are properly forwarded
+- Tests verify that non-HttpProxy ports still use direct connections
+
+### Configuration Example
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  useHttpProxy: [80], // Enable HttpProxy for port 80
+  httpProxyPort: 8443,
+  acme: {
+    email: 'ssl@example.com',
+    port: 80
+  },
+  routes: [
+    // Your routes here
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+## ACME Certificate Provisioning Timing Fix (v19.3.9)
+
+### Issue
+Certificate provisioning would start before ports were listening, causing ACME HTTP-01 challenges to fail with connection refused errors.
+
+### Root Cause
+SmartProxy initialization sequence:
+1. Certificate manager initialized → immediately starts provisioning
+2. Ports start listening (too late for ACME challenges)
+
+### Solution
+Deferred certificate provisioning until after ports are ready:
+```typescript
+// SmartCertManager.initialize() now skips automatic provisioning
+// SmartProxy.start() calls provisionAllCertificates() directly after ports are listening
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+- `test/test.acme-timing-simple.ts` - Verifies proper timing sequence
+
+### Migration
+Update to v19.3.9+, no configuration changes needed.

+**File:** `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/utils/route-helpers.ts`
 
-- [ ] Implement comprehensive type aliases
-  - [ ] Create aliases for all renamed interfaces
-  - [ ] Add deprecation notices via JSDoc
-  - [ ] Ensure all exports include both named versions
+```typescript
+// Simple helper to create socket handler routes
+export function createSocketHandlerRoute(
+  domains: string | string[],
+  ports: TPortRange,
+  handler: TSocketHandler,
+  options?: { name?: string; priority?: number }
+): IRouteConfig {
+  return {
+    name: options?.name || 'socket-handler-route',
+    priority: options?.priority || 50,
+    match: { domains, ports },
+    action: {
+      type: 'socket-handler',
+      socketHandler: handler
+    }
+  };
+}
 
-- [ ] Update main entry point
-  - [ ] Update `ts/index.ts` with all exports
-  - [ ] Include both prefixed and non-prefixed names
-  - [ ] Organize exports by module
+// Pre-built handlers for common cases
+export const SocketHandlers = {
+  // Simple echo server
+  echo: (socket: net.Socket) => {
+    socket.on('data', data => socket.write(data));
+  },
+  
+  // TCP proxy
+  proxy: (targetHost: string, targetPort: number) => (socket: net.Socket) => {
+    const target = net.connect(targetPort, targetHost);
+    socket.pipe(target);
+    target.pipe(socket);
+    socket.on('close', () => target.destroy());
+    target.on('close', () => socket.destroy());
+  },
+  
+  // Line-based protocol
+  lineProtocol: (handler: (line: string, socket: net.Socket) => void) => (socket: net.Socket) => {
+    let buffer = '';
+    socket.on('data', (data) => {
+      buffer += data.toString();
+      const lines = buffer.split('\n');
+      buffer = lines.pop() || '';
+      lines.forEach(line => handler(line, socket));
+    });
+  }
+};
+```
 
-- [ ] Add compatibility documentation
-  - [ ] Document renaming strategy
-  - [ ] Provide migration examples
-  - [ ] Create deprecation timeline
+---
 
-## Phase 8: Documentation & Examples
+## Usage Examples
 
-- [ ] Update README and API documentation

-  - [ ] Document naming convention in README.md
-  - [ ] Update API reference documentation
+### Example 1: Custom Protocol
+```typescript
+{
+  name: 'custom-protocol',
+  match: { ports: 9000 },
+  action: {
+    type: 'socket-handler',
+    socketHandler: (socket) => {
+      socket.write('READY\n');
+      socket.on('data', (data) => {
+        const cmd = data.toString().trim();
+        if (cmd === 'PING') socket.write('PONG\n');
+        else if (cmd === 'QUIT') socket.end();
+        else socket.write('ERROR: Unknown command\n');
+      });
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
 
-- [ ] Update examples
-  - [ ] Modify example code to use new interface names
-  - [ ] Add compatibility notes
-  - [ ] Create migration examples
+### Example 2: Simple TCP Proxy
+```typescript
+{
+  name: 'tcp-proxy',
+  match: { ports: 8080, domains: 'proxy.example.com' },
+  action: {
+    type: 'socket-handler',
+    socketHandler: SocketHandlers.proxy('backend.local', 3000)
+  }
+}
+```
 
-- [ ] Add contributor guidelines
-  - [ ] Document naming conventions
-  - [ ] Add interface/type style guide
-  - [ ] Update PR templates
+### Example 3: WebSocket with Custom Auth
+```typescript
+{
+  name: 'custom-websocket',
+  match: { ports: [80, 443], path: '/ws' },
+  action: {
+    type: 'socket-handler',
+    socketHandler: async (socket) => {
+      // Read HTTP headers
+      const headers = await readHttpHeaders(socket);
+      
+      // Custom auth check
+      if (!headers.authorization || !validateToken(headers.authorization)) {
+        socket.write('HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized\r\n\r\n');
+        socket.end();
+        return;
+      }
+      
+      // Proceed with WebSocket upgrade
+      const ws = new WebSocket(socket, headers);
+      // ... handle WebSocket
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
 
-## Phase 9: Testing & Validation
+---
 
-- [ ] Run comprehensive test suite
-  - [ ] Run all unit tests
-  - [ ] Execute integration tests
-  - [ ] Verify example code
+## Benefits of This Approach
 
-- [ ] Build type declarations
-  - [ ] Generate TypeScript declaration files
-  - [ ] Verify exported types
-  - [ ] Validate documentation generation
+1. **Dead Simple API**: Just pass a function that gets the socket
+2. **No New Classes**: No ForwardingHandler subclass needed
+3. **Minimal Changes**: Only touches type definitions and one handler method
+4. **Full Power**: Users have complete control over the socket
+5. **Backward Compatible**: No changes to existing functionality
+6. **Easy to Test**: Just test the socket handler functions directly
 
-- [ ] Final compatibility check
-  - [ ] Verify import compatibility
-  - [ ] Test with existing dependent projects
-  - [ ] Validate backward compatibility claims
+---
 
-## Implementation Strategy
+## Implementation Steps
 
-### Naming Pattern Rules
+1. Add `'socket-handler'` to `TRouteActionType` (5 minutes)
+2. Add `socketHandler?: TSocketHandler` to `IRouteAction` (5 minutes)
+3. Add socket-handler case in `RouteConnectionHandler.handleConnection()` (15 minutes)
+4. Add helper functions (optional, 30 minutes)
+5. Write tests (2 hours)
+6. Update documentation (1 hour)
 
-1. **Interfaces**:
-   - All interfaces should be prefixed with "I"
-   - Example: `DomainConfig` → `IDomainConfig`
+**Total implementation time: ~4 hours** (vs 6 weeks for the complex version)
 
-2. **Type Aliases**:
-   - All type aliases should be prefixed with "T"
-   - Example: `ForwardingType` → `TForwardingType`
+---
 
-3. **Enums**:
-   - Enums should be named in PascalCase without prefix
-   - Example: `CertificateSource`
+## What We're NOT Doing
 
-4. **Backward Compatibility**:
-   - No Backward compatibility. Remove old names.
+- ❌ Creating new ForwardingHandler classes
+- ❌ Complex context objects with utils
+- ❌ HTTP request handling for socket handlers
+- ❌ Complex protocol detection mechanisms
+- ❌ Middleware patterns
+- ❌ Lifecycle hooks
 
-### Module Implementation Order
+Keep it simple. The user just wants to handle a socket.
 
-1. Core module
-2. Certificate module
-3. Forwarding module
-4. Proxy implementations
-5. HTTP & TLS modules
-6. Main exports and entry points
-
-### Testing Strategy
-
-For each module:
-1. Rename interfaces and types
-2. Add backward compatibility aliases
-3. Update imports throughout the module
-4. Run tests to verify functionality
-5. Commit changes module by module
-

-- All type aliases are prefixed with "T"
-- All tests pass with new naming conventions
-- Documentation is updated with new naming conventions
