+# ACME Certificate Provisioning Timing Fix (v19.3.9)
+
+## Problem Description
+
+In SmartProxy v19.3.8 and earlier, ACME certificate provisioning would start immediately during SmartProxy initialization, before the required ports were actually listening. This caused ACME HTTP-01 challenges to fail because the challenge port (typically port 80) was not ready to accept connections when Let's Encrypt tried to validate the challenge.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+The certificate manager was initialized and immediately started provisioning certificates as part of the SmartProxy startup sequence:
+
+1. SmartProxy.start() called
+2. Certificate manager initialized
+3. Certificate provisioning started immediately (including ACME challenges)
+4. Port listeners started afterwards
+5. ACME challenges would fail because port 80 wasn't listening yet
+
+This race condition meant that when Let's Encrypt tried to connect to port 80 to validate the HTTP-01 challenge, the connection would be refused.
+
+## Solution
+
+The fix defers certificate provisioning until after all ports are listening and ready:
+
+### Changes to SmartCertManager
+
+```typescript
+// Modified initialize() to skip automatic provisioning
+public async initialize(): Promise<void> {
+  // ... initialization code ...
+  
+  // Skip automatic certificate provisioning during initialization
+  console.log('Certificate manager initialized. Deferring certificate provisioning until after ports are listening.');
+  
+  // Start renewal timer
+  this.startRenewalTimer();
+}
+
+// Made provisionAllCertificates public to allow direct calling after ports are ready
+public async provisionAllCertificates(): Promise<void> {
+  // ... certificate provisioning code ...
+}
+```
+
+### Changes to SmartProxy
+
+```typescript
+public async start() {
+  // ... initialization code ...
+  
+  // Start port listeners using the PortManager
+  await this.portManager.addPorts(listeningPorts);
+  
+  // Now that ports are listening, provision any required certificates
+  if (this.certManager) {
+    console.log('Starting certificate provisioning now that ports are ready');
+    await this.certManager.provisionAllCertificates();
+  }
+  
+  // ... rest of startup code ...
+}
+```
+
+## Timing Sequence
+
+### Before (v19.3.8 and earlier)
+1. Initialize certificate manager
+2. Start ACME provisioning immediately
+3. ACME challenge fails (port not ready)
+4. Start port listeners
+5. Port 80 now listening (too late)
+
+### After (v19.3.9)
+1. Initialize certificate manager (provisioning deferred)
+2. Start port listeners
+3. Port 80 now listening
+4. Start ACME provisioning
+5. ACME challenge succeeds
+
+## Configuration
+
+No configuration changes are required. The timing fix is automatic and transparent to users.
+
+## Testing
+
+The fix is verified by the test in `test/test.acme-timing-simple.ts` which ensures:
+
+1. Certificate manager is initialized first
+2. Ports start listening
+3. Certificate provisioning happens only after ports are ready
+
+## Impact
+
+This fix ensures that:
+- ACME HTTP-01 challenges succeed on first attempt
+- No more "connection refused" errors during certificate provisioning
+- Certificate acquisition is more reliable
+- No manual retries needed for failed challenges
+
+## Migration
+
+Simply update to SmartProxy v19.3.9 or later. The fix is backward compatible and requires no changes to existing code or configuration.

+# HTTP-01 ACME Challenge Fix (v19.3.8)
+
+## Problem Description
+
+In SmartProxy v19.3.7 and earlier, ACME HTTP-01 challenges would fail when port 80 was configured to use HttpProxy via the `useHttpProxy` configuration option. The issue was that non-TLS connections on ports listed in `useHttpProxy` were not being forwarded to HttpProxy, instead being handled as direct connections.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+The bug was located in the `RouteConnectionHandler.handleForwardAction` method in `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/route-connection-handler.ts`. The method only forwarded connections to HttpProxy if they had TLS settings with mode 'terminate' or 'terminate-and-reencrypt'. Non-TLS connections (like HTTP on port 80) were always handled as direct connections, regardless of the `useHttpProxy` configuration.
+
+## Solution
+
+The fix adds a check for non-TLS connections on ports listed in the `useHttpProxy` array:
+
+```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
+  if (this.settings.enableDetailedLogging) {
+    console.log(
+      `[${connectionId}] Using HttpProxy for non-TLS connection on port ${record.localPort}`
+    );
+  }
+  
+  this.httpProxyBridge.forwardToHttpProxy(
+    connectionId,
+    socket,
+    record,
+    initialChunk,
+    this.settings.httpProxyPort || 8443,
+    (reason) => this.connectionManager.initiateCleanupOnce(record, reason)
+  );
+  return;
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+To enable ACME HTTP-01 challenges on port 80 with HttpProxy:
+
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  useHttpProxy: [80], // Must include port 80 for HTTP-01 challenges
+  httpProxyPort: 8443, // Default HttpProxy port
+  acme: {
+    email: 'ssl@example.com',
+    port: 80, // ACME challenge port
+    useProduction: false
+  },
+  routes: [
+    {
+      name: 'https-route',
+      match: {
+        ports: 443,
+        domains: 'example.com'
+      },
+      action: {
+        type: 'forward',
+        target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 },
+        tls: {
+          mode: 'terminate',
+          certificate: 'auto',
+          acme: {
+            email: 'ssl@example.com',
+            useProduction: false
+          }
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+The fix is verified by unit tests in `test/test.http-fix-unit.ts`:
+
+1. **Test 1**: Verifies that non-TLS connections on ports in `useHttpProxy` are forwarded to HttpProxy
+2. **Test 2**: Confirms that ports not in `useHttpProxy` still use direct connections
+3. **Test 3**: Validates that ACME HTTP-01 challenges on port 80 work correctly with HttpProxy
+
+## Impact
+
+This fix enables proper ACME HTTP-01 challenge handling when:
+1. Port 80 is configured in the `useHttpProxy` array
+2. An ACME challenge route is configured to use HTTP-01 validation
+3. Certificate provisioning with `certificate: 'auto'` is used
+
+Without this fix, HTTP-01 challenges would fail because the challenge requests would not reach the ACME handler in HttpProxy.
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+If you were experiencing ACME HTTP-01 challenge failures:
+
+1. Update to SmartProxy v19.3.8 or later
+2. Ensure port 80 is included in your `useHttpProxy` configuration
+3. Verify your ACME configuration includes the correct email and port settings
+4. Test certificate renewal with staging ACME first (`useProduction: false`)

+## 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.

-## Overview
-
-SmartProxy has been successfully refactored with clearer separation of concerns between HTTP/HTTPS traffic handling and low-level connection routing. Version 19.4.0 introduces global ACME configuration and enhanced route management.
-
-## Current Architecture (v19.4.0)
-
-### HttpProxy (formerly NetworkProxy)
-**Purpose**: Handle all HTTP/HTTPS traffic with TLS termination
-
-**Current Responsibilities**:
-- TLS termination for HTTPS
-- HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 protocol handling
-- HTTP request/response parsing
-- HTTP to HTTPS redirects
-- ACME challenge handling
-- Static route handlers
-- WebSocket protocol upgrades
-- Connection pooling for backend servers
-- Certificate management integration
-
-### SmartProxy
-**Purpose**: Central API for all proxy needs with route-based configuration
-
-**Current Responsibilities**:
-- Port management (listen on multiple ports)
-- Route-based connection routing
-- TLS passthrough (SNI-based routing)
-- NFTables integration
-- Certificate management via SmartCertManager
-- Raw TCP proxying
-- Connection lifecycle management
-- Global ACME configuration (v19+)
-
-## Completed Implementation
-
-### Phase 1: Rename and Reorganize ✅
-- NetworkProxy renamed to HttpProxy
-- Directory structure reorganized
-- All imports and references updated
-
-### Phase 2: Certificate Management ✅
-- Unified certificate management in SmartCertManager
-- Global ACME configuration support (v19+)
-- Route-level certificate overrides
-- Automatic renewal system
-   - Renamed `network-proxy.ts` to `http-proxy.ts`
-   - Updated `NetworkProxy` class to `HttpProxy` class
-   - Updated all type definitions and interfaces
-
-3. **Update exports**
-   - Updated exports in `ts/index.ts`
-   - Fixed imports across the codebase
-
-### Phase 2: Extract HTTP Logic from SmartProxy ✅
-
-1. **Create HTTP handler modules in HttpProxy**
-   - Created handlers directory with:
-     - `redirect-handler.ts` - HTTP redirect logic
-     - `static-handler.ts` - Static/ACME route handling
-     - `index.ts` - Module exports
-
-2. **Move HTTP parsing from RouteConnectionHandler**
-   - Updated `handleRedirectAction` to delegate to `RedirectHandler`
-   - Updated `handleStaticAction` to delegate to `StaticHandler`
-   - Removed duplicated HTTP parsing logic
-
-3. **Clean up references and naming**
-   - Updated all NetworkProxy references to HttpProxy
-   - Renamed config properties: `useNetworkProxy` → `useHttpProxy`
-   - Renamed config properties: `networkProxyPort` → `httpProxyPort`
-   - Fixed HttpProxyBridge methods and references
-
-### Phase 3: Simplify SmartProxy
-
-1. **Update RouteConnectionHandler**
-   - Remove embedded HTTP parsing
-   - Delegate HTTP routes to HttpProxy
-   - Focus on connection routing only
-
-2. **Simplified route handling**
-   ```typescript
-   // Simplified handleRedirectAction
-   private handleRedirectAction(socket, record, route) {
-     // Delegate to HttpProxy
-     this.httpProxy.handleRedirect(socket, route);
-   }
-   
-   // Simplified handleStaticAction
-   private handleStaticAction(socket, record, route) {
-     // Delegate to HttpProxy
-     this.httpProxy.handleStatic(socket, route);
-   }
-   ```
-
-3. **Update NetworkProxyBridge**
-   - Rename to HttpProxyBridge
-   - Update integration points
-
-### Phase 4: Consolidate HTTP Utilities ✅
-
-1. **Move HTTP types to http-proxy**
-   - Created consolidated `http-types.ts` in `ts/proxies/http-proxy/models/`
-   - Includes HTTP status codes, error classes, and interfaces
-   - Added helper functions like `getStatusText()`
-
-2. **Clean up ts/http directory**
-   - Kept only router functionality
-   - Replaced local HTTP types with re-exports from HttpProxy
-   - Updated imports throughout the codebase to use consolidated types
-
-### Phase 5: Update Tests and Documentation ✅
-
-1. **Update test files**
-   - Renamed NetworkProxy references to HttpProxy
-   - Renamed test files to match new naming
-   - Updated imports and references throughout tests
-   - Fixed certificate manager method names
-
-2. **Update documentation**
-   - Updated README to reflect HttpProxy naming
-   - Updated architecture descriptions
-   - Updated usage examples
-   - Fixed all API documentation references
-
-## Migration Steps
-
-1. Create feature branch: `refactor/http-proxy-consolidation`
-2. Phase 1: Rename NetworkProxy (1 day)
-3. Phase 2: Extract HTTP logic (2 days)
-4. Phase 3: Simplify SmartProxy (1 day)
-5. Phase 4: Consolidate utilities (1 day)
-6. Phase 5: Update tests/docs (1 day)
-7. Integration testing (1 day)
-8. Code review and merge
-
-## Benefits
-
-1. **Clear Separation**: HTTP/HTTPS handling is clearly separated from TCP routing
-2. **Better Naming**: HttpProxy clearly indicates its purpose
-3. **No Duplication**: HTTP parsing logic exists in one place
-4. **Maintainability**: Easier to modify HTTP handling without affecting routing
-5. **Testability**: Each component has a single responsibility
-6. **Performance**: Optimized paths for different traffic types
-
-## Future Enhancements
-
-After this refactoring, we can more easily add:
-
-1. HTTP/3 (QUIC) support in HttpProxy
-2. Advanced HTTP features (compression, caching)
-3. HTTP middleware system
-4. Protocol-specific optimizations
-5. Better HTTP/2 multiplexing
-
-## Breaking Changes from v18 to v19
-
-1. `NetworkProxy` class renamed to `HttpProxy`
-2. Import paths change from `network-proxy` to `http-proxy`
-3. Global ACME configuration now available at the top level
-4. Certificate management unified under SmartCertManager
-
