Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly should I be looking for that warrants a frontpage of HN for this link ?

Official support for WebSockets and SPDY in nginx is big news. WebSocket support especially, as previously it was impossible to do long-polling / WebSocket type work in nginx without resorting to unreliable 3rd party modules.

Websocket support is big deal.

Looking forward to websocket reverse proxying in 1.3

Can't wait! But until then...

Has anyone been using nginx <1.3 to proxy WebSockets using the TCP proxy module (nginx_tcp_proxy_module)? Anyone know from experience if it's a workable solution?

I've been using it for 1.0.x and it works.

Not if you want to use port 80 for your websockets and http on the same server. We are using haproxy to support both Node and nginx on port 80.

I always found any information coming from the nginx website a bit too laconic. Am I the only one?

WebSocket support is welcome.

Now you mention it, yes. Don't forget that English isn't the core developers' native language though.

I am more excited about ETags support than SPDY & Websockets. Etags (when used correctly) are extremely handy.

Please elaborate...

There's a great example/explanation on the Facebook Developer blog:

Basically, it's Last-Modified on steroids.

Hellloooooo, websockets. A nice reverse proxy to Node will be so welcome.
