Tls Termination

Accept HTTPS connections and forward decrypted requests to an HTTP backend.

Category: Setup-dependent integration
Task: Terminate TLS at the proxy

Prerequisites: Praxis runtime; Generate ./localhost+1.pem and ./localhost+1-key.pem with mkcert; the source snapshot does not include them; An HTTP backend

Expected outcome: The listener accepts HTTPS and forwards the request to its configured upstream.

Run it: Use ghcr.io/praxis-proxy/praxis:0.7.2 and follow the first reverse-proxy tutorial to mount and start the configuration.

This configuration comes from the selected release. The example has not been run here; external services are not bundled.
