Description Spyros Anastasopoulos 2025-11-11 12:37:21 UTC 
I am interested in the external module http_proxy_connect https://github.com/chobits/ngx_http_proxy_connect_module

It was added in the port back in 2023

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=271237

https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/commit/fbbfb0d1ec8c5c43b00098131597ea711be1a17c

But was removed in 2024. I can't find in bugzilla the reason and the commit does not mention it either.

https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/commit/f054a3856d6ba8527d2544f1a7d06eada1314987

The removal commits is 'www/nginx: Update to 1.26.0' but the module is known to work for 1.26.

Can you tell me the reason and if/why is should be/not restored?

Thanks
