LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Varnish Software , the company behind the open source Varnish Cache reverse proxy project, is making TLS transport easier with the release of new, official Hitch packages.
Hitch will also be available soon as an official Docker image that can be easily accessed off-the-shelf from the Docker Hub.
In addition to Hitch packages and official Docker image, Hitch 1.6 introduces support for mutual TLS (client certificate authentication/TLS mutual authentication).
Varnish already releases up-to-date packages for Varnish Cache itself ( Varnish Cache 6.5.0 recently became available ); now, up-to-date Hitch packages join the party.
