20.23.2. Synopsis#
paivana-httpd [-h**_|_–help**] [-n**_|_–no-payment**] [-v**_|_–version**]
20.23.3. Description#
paivana-httpd is a reverse proxy that requires the client to make a payment using GNU Taler before forwarding the request. The reverse proxy uses a GNU Taler merchant backend to process payments and also learns which websites require payment and how much the prices are. Thus, the main configuration is done within the Taler merchant backend.
paivana-httpd will simply open an HTTP socket, listen for incoming requests, and if they are paid (or do not require payment) forward them to the respective webserver configured.
Its options are as follows:
- -h
Print short help on options.
- -n
Disable payment, only act as a reverse proxy that does nothing. Useful to temporarily disable the paywall or to test the reverse proxy itself.
- -v
Print version number.
