+.. _rgw_frontends:
+
+==============
+HTTP Frontends
+==============
+
+.. contents::
+
+The Ceph Object Gateway supports two embedded HTTP frontend libraries
+that can be configured with ``rgw_frontends``. See `Config Reference`_
+for details about the syntax.
+
+Beast
+=====
+
+.. versionadded:: Mimic
+
+The ``beast`` frontend uses the Boost.Beast library for HTTP parsing
+and the Boost.Asio library for asynchronous network i/o.
+
+Options
+-------
+
+``port`` and ``ssl_port``
+
+:Description: Sets the ipv4 & ipv6 listening port number. Can be specified multiple
+ times as in ``port=80 port=8000``.
+:Type: Integer
+:Default: ``80``
+
+
+``endpoint`` and ``ssl_endpoint``
+
+:Description: Sets the listening address in the form ``address[:port]``, where
+ the address is an IPv4 address string in dotted decimal form, or
+ an IPv6 address in hexadecimal notation surrounded by square
+ brackets. Specifying a IPv6 endpoint would listen to v6 only. The
+ optional port defaults to 80 for ``endpoint`` and 443 for
+ ``ssl_endpoint``. Can be specified multiple times as in
+ ``endpoint=[::1] endpoint=192.168.0.100:8000``.
+
+:Type: Integer
+:Default: None
+
+
+``ssl_certificate``
+
+:Description: Path to the SSL certificate file used for SSL-enabled endpoints.
+
+:Type: String
+:Default: None
+
+
+``ssl_private_key``
+
+:Description: Optional path to the private key file used for SSL-enabled
+ endpoints. If one is not given, the ``ssl_certificate`` file
+ is used as the private key.
+
+:Type: String
+:Default: None
+
+``tcp_nodelay``
+
+:Description: If set the socket option will disable Nagle's algorithm on
+ the connection which means that packets will be sent as soon
+ as possible instead of waiting for a full buffer or timeout to occur.
+
+ ``1`` Disable Nagel's algorithm for all sockets.
+
+ ``0`` Keep the default: Nagel's algorithm enabled.
+
+:Type: Integer (0 or 1)
+:Default: 0
+
+``max_connection_backlog``
+
+:Description: Optional value to define the maximum size for the queue of
+ connections waiting to be accepted. If not configured, the value
+ from ``boost::asio::socket_base::max_connections`` will be used.
+
+:Type: Integer
+:Default: None
+
+
+Civetweb
+========
+
+.. versionadded:: Firefly
+
+The ``civetweb`` frontend uses the Civetweb HTTP library, which is a
+fork of Mongoose.
+
+
+Options
+-------
+
+``port``
+
+:Description: Sets the listening port number. For SSL-enabled ports, add an
+ ``s`` suffix like ``443s``. To bind a specific IPv4 or IPv6
+ address, use the form ``address:port``. Multiple endpoints
+ can either be separated by ``+`` as in ``127.0.0.1:8000+443s``,
+ or by providing multiple options as in ``port=8000 port=443s``.
+
+:Type: String
+:Default: ``7480``
+
+
+``num_threads``
+
+:Description: Sets the number of threads spawned by Civetweb to handle
+ incoming HTTP connections. This effectively limits the number
+ of concurrent connections that the frontend can service.
+
+:Type: Integer
+:Default: ``rgw_thread_pool_size``
+
+
+``request_timeout_ms``
+
+:Description: The amount of time in milliseconds that Civetweb will wait
+ for more incoming data before giving up.
+
+:Type: Integer
+:Default: ``30000``
+
+
+``ssl_certificate``
+
+:Description: Path to the SSL certificate file used for SSL-enabled ports.
+
+:Type: String
+:Default: None
+
+``access_log_file``
+
+:Description: Path to a file for access logs. Either full path, or relative
+ to the current working directory. If absent (default), then
+ accesses are not logged.
+
+:Type: String
+:Default: ``EMPTY``
+
+
+``error_log_file``
+
+:Description: Path to a file for error logs. Either full path, or relative
+ to the current working directory. If absent (default), then
+ errors are not logged.
+
+:Type: String
+:Default: ``EMPTY``
+
+
+The following is an example of the ``/etc/ceph/ceph.conf`` file with some of these options set: ::
+
+ [client.rgw.gateway-node1]
+ rgw_frontends = civetweb request_timeout_ms=30000 error_log_file=/var/log/radosgw/civetweb.error.log access_log_file=/var/log/radosgw/civetweb.access.log
+
+A complete list of supported options can be found in the `Civetweb User Manual`_.
+
+
+Generic Options
+===============
+
+Some frontend options are generic and supported by all frontends:
+
+``prefix``
+
+:Description: A prefix string that is inserted into the URI of all
+ requests. For example, a swift-only frontend could supply
+ a uri prefix of ``/swift``.
+
+:Type: String
+:Default: None
