Description

nginx [engine x] is an HTTP and reverse proxy server, as well as a mail proxy server. This version adds some patches to improve performance: * HPACK by Cloudflare * Dynamic TLS records It is also built with the most recent OpenSSL 3.0.0. And using a more recent GCC, version 8. Be careful using this in production. This package merely addresses all the crazy folks who want you to compile nginx to get the above features. The compiled nginx is evil for many reasons.

Packaged install is easier to use in production and is also easier to rollback to stable nginx version in case there's an issue with those patches or the bundled newest OpenSSL.
