 # Changelog

+## 2025-05-09 - 11.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(forwarding)
+Refactor unified forwarding API and remove redundant documentation. Removed docs/forwarding-system.md (its content is migrated into readme.md) and updated helper functions (e.g. replacing sniPassthrough with httpsPassthrough) to accept configuration objects. Legacy fields in domain configurations (allowedIPs, blockedIPs, useNetworkProxy, networkProxyPort, connectionTimeout) have been removed in favor of forwarding.security and advanced options. Tests and examples have been updated accordingly.
+
+- Removed docs/forwarding-system.md; forwarding system docs now reside in readme.md.
+- Updated helper functions (httpOnly, tlsTerminateToHttp, tlsTerminateToHttps, httpsPassthrough) to accept object parameters rather than individual arguments.
+- Removed legacy domain configuration properties, shifting IP filtering to the forwarding.security field.
+- Adjusted return types and API contracts for certificate provisioning and SNI handling in the unified forwarding system.
+- Updated tests and examples to align with the new configuration interface.
+
+## 2025-05-09 - 10.3.0 - feat(forwarding)
+Add unified forwarding system docs and tests; update build script and .gitignore
+
+- Added docs/forwarding-system.md documenting the new unified forwarding system architecture, configuration, and usage examples
+- Updated .gitignore to exclude .claude/ directory
+- Modified package.json build script from 'tsbuild --web --allowimplicitany' to 'tsbuild tsfolders --allowimplicitany'
+- Extended ts/index.ts export to include the forwarding module
+- Introduced new tests and unit tests for forwarding, network proxy, and certificate provisioning
+
+## 2025-05-05 - 10.2.0 - feat(CertificateManager)
+Implement on-demand certificate retrieval for missing SNI certificates. When no certificate is found for a TLS ClientHello, the system now automatically registers the domain with the Port80Handler to trigger ACME issuance and immediately falls back to using the default certificate to complete the handshake. Additionally, HTTP requests on port 80 for unrecognized domains now return a 503 indicating that certificate issuance is in progress.
+
+- In CertificateManager.handleSNI, if no certificate is cached, call port80Handler.addDomain to trigger on-demand provisioning.
+- Update Port80Handler.handleRequest to register unknown domains and return a 503 for ACME HTTP-01 challenge requests.
+- Emit observability events (e.g. certificateRequested) so dynamic certificate requests can be tracked.
+- Fallback to default SSL context to allow TLS handshake while certificate issuance is performed.
+- Update and extend unit and integration tests to verify the new on-demand certificate flow.
+
+## 2025-05-05 - 10.1.0 - feat(smartproxy)
+Implement fallback to NetworkProxy on missing SNI and rename certProvider to certProvisionFunction in CertProvisioner
+
+- When a TLS ClientHello is received without an SNI extension and allowSessionTicket is false, the code now attempts to forward the connection to NetworkProxy instead of immediately closing the connection with a TLS alert.
+- An error callback has been added to handle proxy forwarding failures; if forwarding fails or no NetworkProxy is available, the TLS unrecognized_name alert is sent and the connection is terminated.
+- Renamed all instances of 'certProvider' to 'certProvisionFunction' in the CertProvisioner implementation, updating the associated types and call sites.
+- Updated unit tests to simulate a ClientHello without SNI and to verify that with NetworkProxy enabled the connection is correctly forwarded.
+
+## 2025-05-05 - 10.0.12 - fix(port80handler)
+refactor ACME challenge handling to use dedicated Http01MemoryHandler, remove obsolete readme.plan.md, and update version to 10.0.12

+- Updated ts/00_commitinfo_data.ts version from 10.0.11 to 10.0.12
+- Adjusted certificate provisioning logic to properly handle wildcard domains and on-demand requests
+
+## 2025-05-05 - 10.0.12 - fix(port80handler)
+Remove obsolete readme.plan.md and refactor Port80Handler's ACME challenge handling to use a dedicated Http01MemoryHandler
+
+- Deleted readme.plan.md planning document which was no longer needed
+- Removed internal acmeHttp01Storage map from Port80Handler
+- Instantiated Http01MemoryHandler as a class property and provided it to SmartAcme for challenge handling
+- Delegated ACME HTTP-01 challenge responses to the new smartAcmeHttp01Handler instead of in-memory storage
+
+## 2025-05-05 - 10.0.11 - fix(dependencies)
+Bump @push.rocks/smartacme to ^7.2.5 and @tsclass/tsclass to ^9.2.0; update MemoryCertManager import to use plugins.smartacme.certmanagers.MemoryCertManager()

+# SmartProxy Project Hints
+
+## Project Overview
+- Package: `@push.rocks/smartproxy` – high-performance proxy supporting HTTP(S), TCP, WebSocket, and ACME integration.
+- Written in TypeScript, compiled output in `dist_ts/`, uses ESM with NodeNext resolution.
+
+## Repository Structure
+- `ts/` – TypeScript source files:
+  - `index.ts` exports main modules.
+  - `plugins.ts` centralizes native and third-party imports.
+  - Subdirectories: `networkproxy/`, `nftablesproxy/`, `port80handler/`, `redirect/`, `smartproxy/`.
+  - Key classes: `ProxyRouter` (`classes.router.ts`), `SmartProxy` (`classes.smartproxy.ts`), plus handlers/managers.
+- `dist_ts/` – transpiled `.js` and `.d.ts` files mirroring `ts/` structure.
+- `test/` – test suites in TypeScript:
+  - `test.router.ts` – routing logic (hostname matching, wildcards, path parameters, config management).
+  - `test.smartproxy.ts` – proxy behavior tests (TCP forwarding, SNI handling, concurrency, chaining, timeouts).
+  - `test/helpers/` – utilities (e.g., certificates).
+- `assets/certs/` – placeholder certificates for ACME and TLS.
+
+## Development Setup
+- Requires `pnpm` (v10+).
+- Install dependencies: `pnpm install`.
+- Build: `pnpm build` (runs `tsbuild --web --allowimplicitany`).
+- Test: `pnpm test` (runs `tstest test/`).
+- Format: `pnpm format` (runs `gitzone format`).
+
+## Testing Framework
+- Uses `@push.rocks/tapbundle` (`tap`, `expect`, `expactAsync`).
+- Test files: must start with `test.` and use `.ts` extension.
+- Run specific tests via `tsx`, e.g., `tsx test/test.router.ts`.
+
+## Coding Conventions
+- Import modules via `plugins.ts`:
+  ```ts
+  import * as plugins from './plugins.ts';
+  const server = new plugins.http.Server();
+  ```
+- Reference plugins with full path: `plugins.acme`, `plugins.smartdelay`, `plugins.minimatch`, etc.
+- Path patterns support globs (`*`) and parameters (`:param`) in `ProxyRouter`.
+- Wildcard hostname matching leverages `minimatch` patterns.
+
+## Key Components
+- **ProxyRouter**
+  - Methods: `routeReq`, `routeReqWithDetails`.
+  - Hostname matching: case-insensitive, strips port, supports exact, wildcard, TLD, complex patterns.
+  - Path routing: exact, wildcard, parameter extraction (`pathParams`), returns `pathMatch` and `pathRemainder`.
+  - Config API: `setNewProxyConfigs`, `addProxyConfig`, `removeProxyConfig`, `getHostnames`, `getProxyConfigs`.
+- **SmartProxy**
+  - Manages one or more `net.Server` instances to forward TCP streams.
+  - Options: `preserveSourceIP`, `defaultAllowedIPs`, `globalPortRanges`, `sniEnabled`.
+  - DomainConfigManager: round-robin selection for multiple target IPs.
+  - Graceful shutdown in `stop()`, ensures no lingering servers or sockets.
+
+## Notable Points
+- **TSConfig**: `module: NodeNext`, `verbatimModuleSyntax`, allows `.js` extension imports in TS.
+- Mermaid diagrams and architecture flows in `readme.md` illustrate component interactions and protocol flows.
+- CLI entrypoint (`cli.js`) supports command-line usage (ACME, proxy controls).
+- ACME and certificate handling via `Port80Handler` and `helpers.certificates.ts`.
+
+## TODOs / Considerations
+- Ensure import extensions in source match build outputs (`.ts` vs `.js`).
+- Update `plugins.ts` when adding new dependencies.
+- Maintain test coverage for new routing or proxy features.
+- Keep `ts/` and `dist_ts/` in sync after refactors.

+
+### 1. HTTP(S) Reverse Proxy (NetworkProxy)
+```typescript
+import { NetworkProxy } from '@push.rocks/smartproxy';
+
+const proxy = new NetworkProxy({ port: 443 });
+await proxy.start();
+
+await proxy.updateProxyConfigs([
+  {

+    destinationIps: ['127.0.0.1'],
+    destinationPorts: [3000],
+    publicKey: fs.readFileSync('cert.pem', 'utf8'),
+    privateKey: fs.readFileSync('key.pem', 'utf8'),
+  }
+]);
+
+// Add default headers to all responses
+await proxy.addDefaultHeaders({
+  'Strict-Transport-Security': 'max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains'
+});
+// ...
+await proxy.stop();
+```

+```typescript
+import { Redirect, SslRedirect } from '@push.rocks/smartproxy';
+import * as fs from 'fs';
+
+// Custom redirect rules
+const redirect = new Redirect({
+  httpPort: 80,
+  httpsPort: 443,
+  sslOptions: {
+    key: fs.readFileSync('key.pem'),
+    cert: fs.readFileSync('cert.pem'),
+  },

+```
+
+### 3. Automatic Certificates (ACME Port80Handler)
+```typescript
+import { Port80Handler } from '@push.rocks/smartproxy';
+
+// Configure ACME on port 80 with contact email
+const acme = new Port80Handler({
+  port: 80,
+  contactEmail: 'admin@example.com',
+  useProduction: true,
+  renewThresholdDays: 30
+});
+acme.on('certificate-issued', evt => {
+  console.log(`Certificate ready for ${evt.domain}, expires ${evt.expiryDate}`);
+});
+await acme.start();
+acme.addDomain({

+
+## Unified Forwarding System
+
+The SmartProxy Unified Forwarding System provides a clean, use-case driven approach to configuring different types of traffic forwarding. It replaces disparate configuration mechanisms with a unified interface.
+
+### Forwarding Types
+
+The system supports four primary forwarding types:
+
+1. **HTTP-only (`http-only`)**: Forwards HTTP traffic to a backend server.
+2. **HTTPS Passthrough (`https-passthrough`)**: Passes through raw TLS traffic without termination (SNI forwarding).
+3. **HTTPS Termination to HTTP (`https-terminate-to-http`)**: Terminates TLS and forwards the decrypted traffic to an HTTP backend.
+4. **HTTPS Termination to HTTPS (`https-terminate-to-https`)**: Terminates TLS and creates a new TLS connection to an HTTPS backend.
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+Each domain is configured with a forwarding type and target:

 ```typescript
-import { NetworkProxy } from '@push.rocks/smartproxy';
-
-// Create a reverse proxy listening on port 443
-const proxy = new NetworkProxy({
-  port: 443
-});
-
-// Define reverse proxy configurations
-const proxyConfigs = [
-  {
-    hostName: 'example.com',
-    destinationIps: ['127.0.0.1'],
-    destinationPorts: [3000],
-    publicKey: 'your-cert-content',
-    privateKey: 'your-key-content',
-    rewriteHostHeader: true
-  },
-  {
-    hostName: 'api.example.com',
-    destinationIps: ['127.0.0.1'],
-    destinationPorts: [4000],
-    publicKey: 'your-cert-content',
-    privateKey: 'your-key-content',
-    // Optional basic auth
-    authentication: {
-      type: 'Basic',
-      user: 'admin',
-      pass: 'secret'
+{
+  domains: ['example.com'],
+  forwarding: {
+    type: 'http-only',
+    target: {
+      host: 'localhost',
+      port: 3000
    }
  }
-];
-
-// Start the proxy and update configurations
-(async () => {
-  await proxy.start();
-  await proxy.updateProxyConfigs(proxyConfigs);
-  
-  // Add default headers to all responses
-  await proxy.addDefaultHeaders({
-    'Strict-Transport-Security': 'max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload'
-  });
-})();
+}
 ```

-### HTTP to HTTPS Redirection
+### Helper Functions
+
+Helper functions are provided for common configurations:

 ```typescript
-import { SslRedirect } from '@push.rocks/smartproxy';
+import { createDomainConfig, httpOnly, tlsTerminateToHttp,
+         tlsTerminateToHttps, httpsPassthrough } from '@push.rocks/smartproxy';

-// Create and start HTTP to HTTPS redirect service on port 80
-const redirector = new SslRedirect(80);
-redirector.start();
+// HTTP-only
+await domainManager.addDomainConfig(
+  createDomainConfig('example.com', httpOnly({
+    target: { host: 'localhost', port: 3000 }
+  }))
+);
+
+// HTTPS termination to HTTP
+await domainManager.addDomainConfig(
+  createDomainConfig('secure.example.com', tlsTerminateToHttp({
+    target: { host: 'localhost', port: 3000 },
+    acme: { production: true }
+  }))
+);
+
+// HTTPS termination to HTTPS
+await domainManager.addDomainConfig(
+  createDomainConfig('api.example.com', tlsTerminateToHttps({
+    target: { host: 'internal-api', port: 8443 },
+    http: { redirectToHttps: true }
+  }))
+);
+
+// HTTPS passthrough (SNI)
+await domainManager.addDomainConfig(
+  createDomainConfig('passthrough.example.com', httpsPassthrough({
+    target: { host: '10.0.0.5', port: 443 }
+  }))
+);
 ```

+    },
+    http: {
+      enabled: true,
+      redirectToHttps: true
+    },

-## Advanced Features
-
-### TLS Handshake Optimization
-
-The enhanced `SmartProxy` implementation includes significant improvements for TLS handshake handling:
-
- Robust SNI extraction with improved error handling
- Increased buffer size for complex TLS handshakes (10MB)
- Longer initial handshake timeout (60 seconds)
- Detection and tracking of TLS connection states
- Optional detailed TLS debug logging for troubleshooting
- Browser compatibility fixes for Chrome certificate errors
-
-```typescript
-// Example configuration to solve Chrome certificate errors
-const portProxy = new SmartProxy({
-  // ... other settings
-  initialDataTimeout: 60000,            // Give browser more time for handshake
-  maxPendingDataSize: 10 * 1024 * 1024, // Larger buffer for complex handshakes
-  enableTlsDebugLogging: true,          // Enable when troubleshooting
-});
-```
-
-### Connection Management and Monitoring
-
-The `SmartProxy` class includes built-in connection tracking and monitoring:
-
- Automatic cleanup of idle connections with configurable timeouts
- Timeouts for connections that exceed maximum lifetime
- Detailed logging of connection states

- Per-domain timeout configuration
-
-### WebSocket Support
-
-The `NetworkProxy` class provides WebSocket support with:
-
- WebSocket connection proxying
- Automatic heartbeat monitoring
- Connection cleanup for inactive WebSockets
-
-### SNI-based Routing
-
-The `SmartProxy` class can inspect the SNI (Server Name Indication) field in TLS handshakes to route connections based on the requested domain:
-
- Multiple backend targets per domain
- Round-robin load balancing
- Domain-specific allowed IP ranges
- Protection against SNI renegotiation attacks
-
-### Enhanced NfTables Management
-
-The `NfTablesProxy` class offers advanced capabilities:

- Structured logging with JSON support
- NetworkProxy integration for SSL termination
- Comprehensive cleanup on shutdown
-
-### Port80Handler with Glob Pattern Support
-
-The `Port80Handler` class includes support for glob pattern domain matching:
-
- Supports wildcard domains like `*.example.com` for HTTP request routing
- Detects glob patterns and skips certificate issuance for them
- Smart routing that first attempts exact matches, then tries pattern matching
- Supports forwarding HTTP requests to backend services
- Separate forwarding configuration for ACME challenges
+### SmartProxy (IPortProxySettings)
+- `fromPort`, `toPort` (number)
+- `domainConfigs` (IDomainConfig[]) - Using unified forwarding configuration
+- `sniEnabled`, `preserveSourceIP` (booleans)
+- `defaultAllowedIPs`, `defaultBlockedIPs` (string[]) - Default IP allowlists/blocklists
+- Timeouts: `initialDataTimeout`, `socketTimeout`, `inactivityTimeout`, etc.
+- Socket opts: `noDelay`, `keepAlive`, `enableKeepAliveProbes`
+- `acme` (IAcmeOptions), `certProvisionFunction` (callback)
+- `useNetworkProxy` (number[]), `networkProxyPort` (number)
+- `globalPortRanges` (Array<{ from: number; to: number }>)

 ## Troubleshooting

-### Browser Certificate Errors
+### NetworkProxy
+- Verify ports, certificates and `rejectUnauthorized` for TLS errors
+- Configure CORS or use `addDefaultHeaders` for preflight issues
+- Increase `maxConnections` or `connectionPoolSize` under load

-If you experience certificate errors in browsers, especially in Chrome, try these solutions:
+### Port80Handler
+- Run as root or grant CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE for port 80
+- Inspect `certificate-failed` events and switch staging/production

-1. **Increase Initial Data Timeout**: Set `initialDataTimeout` to 60 seconds or higher
-2. **Increase Buffer Size**: Set `maxPendingDataSize` to 10MB or higher
-3. **Enable TLS Debug Logging**: Set `enableTlsDebugLogging: true` to troubleshoot handshake issues
-4. **Enable Keep-Alive Probes**: Set `enableKeepAliveProbes: true` for better connection stability
-5. **Check Certificate Chain**: Ensure your certificate chain is complete and in the correct order
+### NfTablesProxy
+- Ensure `nft` is installed and run with sufficient privileges
+- Use `forceCleanSlate:true` to clear conflicting rules

-```typescript
-// Configuration to fix Chrome certificate errors
-const smartProxy = new SmartProxy({
-  // ... other settings
-  initialDataTimeout: 60000,
-  maxPendingDataSize: 10 * 1024 * 1024,
-  enableTlsDebugLogging: true,
-  enableKeepAliveProbes: true
-});
-```
+### Redirect / SslRedirect
+- Check `fromHost`/`fromPath` patterns and Host headers
+- Validate `sslOptions` key/cert correctness

-### Connection Stability
-
-For improved connection stability in high-traffic environments:
-
-1. **Set Appropriate Timeouts**: Use longer timeouts for long-lived connections
-2. **Use Domain-Specific Timeouts**: Configure per-domain timeouts for different types of services
-3. **Enable TCP Keep-Alive**: Ensure `keepAlive` is set to `true`
-4. **Monitor Connection Statistics**: Enable detailed logging to track termination reasons
-5. **Fine-tune Inactivity Checks**: Adjust `inactivityCheckInterval` based on your traffic patterns
-
-### NfTables Troubleshooting
-
-If you're experiencing issues with NfTablesProxy:
-
-1. **Enable Detailed Logging**: Set `enableLogging: true` to see all rule operations
-2. **Force Clean Slate**: Use `forceCleanSlate: true` to remove any lingering rules
-3. **Use IP Sets**: Enable `useIPSets: true` for cleaner rule management
-4. **Check Permissions**: Ensure your process has sufficient permissions to modify nftables
-5. **Verify IPv6 Support**: If using `ipv6Support: true`, ensure ip6tables is available
+### SmartProxy & SniHandler
+- Increase `initialDataTimeout`/`maxPendingDataSize` for large ClientHello
+- Enable `enableTlsDebugLogging` to trace handshake
+- Ensure `allowSessionTicket` and fragmentation support for resumption
+- Double-check forwarding configuration to ensure correct `type` for your use case
+- Use helper functions like `httpOnly()`, `httpsPassthrough()`, etc. to create correct configurations
+- For IP filtering issues, check the `security.allowedIps` and `security.blockedIps` settings

+# SmartProxy Unified Forwarding Configuration Plan
+
+## Project Goal
+Create a clean, use-case driven forwarding configuration interface for SmartProxy that elegantly handles all forwarding scenarios: SNI-based forwarding, termination-based forwarding (NetworkProxy), HTTP forwarding, and ACME challenge forwarding.
+
+## Current State
+Currently, SmartProxy has several different forwarding mechanisms configured separately:
+1. **HTTPS/SNI forwarding** via `IDomainConfig` properties
+2. **NetworkProxy forwarding** via `useNetworkProxy` in domain configs
+3. **HTTP forwarding** via Port80Handler's `forward` configuration
+4. **ACME challenge forwarding** via `acmeForward` configuration
+
+This separation creates configuration complexity and reduced cohesion between related settings.
+
+## Proposed Solution: Clean Use-Case Driven Forwarding Interface
+
+### Phase 1: Design Streamlined Forwarding Interface
+
+- [ ] Create a use-case driven `IForwardConfig` interface that simplifies configuration:
+
+```typescript
+export interface IForwardConfig {
+  // Define the primary forwarding type - use-case driven approach
+  type: 'http-only' | 'https-passthrough' | 'https-terminate-to-http' | 'https-terminate-to-https';
+  
+  // Target configuration
+  target: {
+    host: string | string[];  // Support single host or round-robin
+    port: number;
+  };
+  
+  // HTTP-specific options
+  http?: {
+    enabled?: boolean;                 // Defaults to true for http-only, optional for others
+    redirectToHttps?: boolean;         // Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
+    headers?: Record<string, string>;  // Custom headers for HTTP responses
+  };
+  
+  // HTTPS-specific options
+  https?: {
+    customCert?: {                    // Use custom cert instead of auto-provisioned
+      key: string;
+      cert: string;
+    };
+    forwardSni?: boolean;             // Forward SNI info in passthrough mode
+  };
+  
+  // ACME certificate handling
+  acme?: {
+    enabled?: boolean;                // Enable ACME certificate provisioning  
+    maintenance?: boolean;            // Auto-renew certificates
+    production?: boolean;             // Use production ACME servers
+    forwardChallenges?: {             // Forward ACME challenges
+      host: string;
+      port: number;
+      useTls?: boolean;
+    };
+  };
+  
+  // Security options
+  security?: { 
+    allowedIps?: string[];            // IPs allowed to connect
+    blockedIps?: string[];            // IPs blocked from connecting
+    maxConnections?: number;          // Max simultaneous connections
+  };
+  
+  // Advanced options
+  advanced?: {
+    portRanges?: Array<{ from: number; to: number }>; // Allowed port ranges
+    networkProxyPort?: number;        // Custom NetworkProxy port if using terminate mode
+    keepAlive?: boolean;              // Enable TCP keepalive
+    timeout?: number;                 // Connection timeout in ms
+    headers?: Record<string, string>; // Custom headers with support for variables like {sni}
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Create New Domain Configuration Interface
+
+- [ ] Replace existing `IDomainConfig` interface with a new one using the forwarding pattern:
+
+```typescript
+export interface IDomainConfig {
+  // Core properties
+  domains: string[];  // Domain patterns to match
+  
+  // Unified forwarding configuration
+  forwarding: IForwardConfig;
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Implement Forwarding Handler System
+
+- [ ] Create an implementation strategy focused on the new forwarding types:
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Base class for all forwarding handlers
+ */
+abstract class ForwardingHandler {
+  constructor(protected config: IForwardConfig) {}
+  
+  abstract handleConnection(socket: Socket): void;
+  abstract handleHttpRequest(req: IncomingMessage, res: ServerResponse): void;
+}
+
+/**
+ * Factory for creating the appropriate handler based on forwarding type
+ */
+class ForwardingHandlerFactory {
+  public static createHandler(config: IForwardConfig): ForwardingHandler {
+    switch (config.type) {
+      case 'http-only':
+        return new HttpForwardingHandler(config);
+        
+      case 'https-passthrough':
+        return new HttpsPassthroughHandler(config);
+        
+      case 'https-terminate-to-http':
+        return new HttpsTerminateToHttpHandler(config);
+        
+      case 'https-terminate-to-https':
+        return new HttpsTerminateToHttpsHandler(config);
+        
+      default:
+        throw new Error(`Unknown forwarding type: ${config.type}`);
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Usage Examples for Common Scenarios
+
+### 1. Basic HTTP Server
+
+```typescript
+{
+  domains: ['example.com'],
+  forwarding: {
+    type: 'http-only',
+    target: {
+      host: 'localhost',
+      port: 3000
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. HTTPS Termination with HTTP Backend
+
+```typescript
+{
+  domains: ['secure.example.com'],
+  forwarding: {
+    type: 'https-terminate-to-http',
+    target: {
+      host: 'localhost',
+      port: 3000
+    },
+    acme: {
+      production: true  // Use production Let's Encrypt
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. HTTPS Termination with HTTPS Backend
+
+```typescript
+{
+  domains: ['secure-backend.example.com'],
+  forwarding: {
+    type: 'https-terminate-to-https',
+    target: {
+      host: 'internal-api',
+      port: 8443
+    },
+    http: {
+      redirectToHttps: true  // Redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. SNI Passthrough
+
+```typescript
+{
+  domains: ['passthrough.example.com'],
+  forwarding: {
+    type: 'https-passthrough',
+    target: {
+      host: '10.0.0.5',
+      port: 443
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Mixed HTTP/HTTPS with Custom ACME Forwarding
+
+```typescript
+{
+  domains: ['mixed.example.com'],
+  forwarding: {
+    type: 'https-terminate-to-http',
+    target: {
+      host: 'localhost',
+      port: 3000
+    },
+    http: {
+      redirectToHttps: false  // Allow both HTTP and HTTPS access
+    },
+    acme: {
+      enabled: true,
+      maintenance: true,
+      forwardChallenges: {
+        host: '192.168.1.100',
+        port: 8080
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 6. Load-Balanced Backend
+
+```typescript
+{
+  domains: ['api.example.com'],
+  forwarding: {
+    type: 'https-terminate-to-https',
+    target: {
+      host: ['10.0.0.10', '10.0.0.11', '10.0.0.12'], // Round-robin
+      port: 8443
+    },
+    security: {
+      allowedIps: ['10.0.0.*', '192.168.1.*']  // Restrict access
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 7. Advanced Proxy Chain with Custom Headers
+
+```typescript
+{
+  domains: ['secure-chain.example.com'],
+  forwarding: {
+    type: 'https-terminate-to-https',
+    target: {
+      host: 'backend-gateway.internal',
+      port: 443
+    },
+    advanced: {
+      // Pass original client info to backend
+      headers: {
+        'X-Original-SNI': '{sni}',
+        'X-Client-IP': '{clientIp}'
+      }
+    }
+  }

+## Detailed Type Documentation
+
+### Core Forwarding Types
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * The primary forwarding types supported by SmartProxy
+ */
+export type ForwardingType = 
+  | 'http-only'                // HTTP forwarding only (no HTTPS)
+  | 'https-passthrough'        // Pass-through TLS traffic (SNI forwarding)
+  | 'https-terminate-to-http'  // Terminate TLS and forward to HTTP backend
+  | 'https-terminate-to-https'; // Terminate TLS and forward to HTTPS backend
+```
+
+### Type-Specific Behavior
+
+Each forwarding type has specific default behavior:
+
+#### HTTP-Only
+- Handles only HTTP traffic
+- No TLS/HTTPS support
+- No certificate management
+
+#### HTTPS Passthrough
+- Forwards raw TLS traffic to backend (no termination)
+- Passes SNI information through
+- No HTTP support (TLS only)
+- No certificate management
+
+#### HTTPS Terminate to HTTP
+- Terminates TLS at SmartProxy
+- Connects to backend using HTTP (non-TLS)
+- Manages certificates automatically (ACME)
+- Supports HTTP requests with option to redirect to HTTPS
+
+#### HTTPS Terminate to HTTPS
+- Terminates client TLS at SmartProxy
+- Creates new TLS connection to backend
+- Manages certificates automatically (ACME)
+- Supports HTTP requests with option to redirect to HTTPS
+
+## Handler Implementation Strategy
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Handler for HTTP-only forwarding
+ */
+class HttpForwardingHandler extends ForwardingHandler {
+  public handleConnection(socket: Socket): void {
+    // Process HTTP connection
+    // For HTTP-only, we'll mostly defer to handleHttpRequest
+  }
+  
+  public handleHttpRequest(req: IncomingMessage, res: ServerResponse): void {
+    // Forward HTTP request to target
+    const target = this.getTargetFromConfig();
+    this.proxyRequest(req, res, target);
+  }
+}
+
+/**
+ * Handler for HTTPS passthrough (SNI forwarding)
+ */
+class HttpsPassthroughHandler extends ForwardingHandler {
+  public handleConnection(socket: Socket): void {
+    // Extract SNI from TLS ClientHello if needed
+    // Forward raw TLS traffic to target without termination
+    const target = this.getTargetFromConfig();
+    this.forwardTlsConnection(socket, target);
+  }
+  
+  public handleHttpRequest(req: IncomingMessage, res: ServerResponse): void {
+    // HTTP not supported in SNI passthrough mode
+    res.statusCode = 404;
+    res.end('HTTP not supported for this domain');
+  }
+}
+
+/**
+ * Handler for HTTPS termination with HTTP backend
+ */
+class HttpsTerminateToHttpHandler extends ForwardingHandler {
+  private tlsContext: SecureContext;
+  
+  public async initialize(): Promise<void> {
+    // Set up TLS termination context
+    this.tlsContext = await this.createTlsContext();
+  }
+  
+  public handleConnection(socket: Socket): void {
+    // Terminate TLS
+    const tlsSocket = this.createTlsSocket(socket, this.tlsContext);
+    
+    // Forward to HTTP backend after TLS termination
+    tlsSocket.on('data', (data) => {
+      this.forwardToHttpBackend(data);
+    });
+  }
+  
+  public handleHttpRequest(req: IncomingMessage, res: ServerResponse): void {
+    if (this.config.http?.redirectToHttps) {
+      // Redirect to HTTPS if configured
+      this.redirectToHttps(req, res);
+    } else {
+      // Handle HTTP request
+      const target = this.getTargetFromConfig();
+      this.proxyRequest(req, res, target);
+    }
+  }
+}
+

+```
+
+## Benefits of This Approach
+
+1. **Clean, Type-Driven Design**
+   - Forwarding types clearly express intent
+   - No backward compatibility compromises
+   - Code structure follows the domain model
+
+2. **Explicit Configuration**
+   - Configuration directly maps to behavior
+   - Reduced chance of unexpected behavior
+
+3. **Modular Implementation**
+   - Each forwarding type handled by dedicated class
+   - Clear separation of concerns
+   - Easier to test and extend
+
+4. **Simplified Mental Model**
+   - Users think in terms of use cases, not low-level settings
+   - Configuration matches mental model
+
+5. **Future-Proof**
+   - Easy to add new forwarding types

Philipp Kunz	1a902a04fb	BREAKING CHANGE(forwarding): Refactor unified forwarding API and remove redundant documentation. Removed docs/forwarding-system.md (its content is migrated into readme.md) and updated helper functions (e.g. replacing sniPassthrough with httpsPassthrough) to accept configuration objects. Legacy fields in domain configurations (allowedIPs, blockedIPs, useNetworkProxy, networkProxyPort, connectionTimeout) have been removed in favor of forwarding.security and advanced options. Tests and examples have been updated accordingly.	2025-05-09 15:39:15 +00:00

Philipp Kunz	0f356c9bbf	feat(CertificateManager): Implement on-demand certificate retrieval for missing SNI certificates. When no certificate is found for a TLS ClientHello, the system now automatically registers the domain with the Port80Handler to trigger ACME issuance and immediately falls back to using the default certificate to complete the handshake. Additionally, HTTP requests on port 80 for unrecognized domains now return a 503 indicating that certificate issuance is in progress.	2025-05-05 17:03:22 +00:00
