Hello everybody,
I hope I didn't muss an existing thread about this question, but I wasn't able to find one. At least none where I found an answer, although my question is quite simple.
I would like to test the performance difference between enabled and disabled SSLCaching. I use a configuration file for Stunnel 4.11 (daemon mode) where I tell it to accept incoming connections on port 444 and direct them to a local web-server on port 80.
Because STunnel uses Caching by default, I tried to tell STunnel to disable SSL Caching by setting session = 0 in the configuration file, which resulted in an error when starting the program. I looked at the code and found that there is a check so that the session parameter can not be equal to 0. I disabled the check and started stunnel again which seemed to work.
But taking a look at the packets exchanged via a browser and the server resulted in the conclusion that caching is still enabled.
My simple question is, how I can disable the Caching.
Another question is if anyone of you has made any performance tests regarding STunnel in combination with an Apache HTTP server on the same machine. I'm specially interested in modes to get this combination run faster. And now please do not tell me to use mod_ssl. :)
Thanks in advance.
Daniel
