Hi,
it seems ops received a request to add the negotiated cipher suite to
the cache logs for https requests.
Would it hurt any of our tools or would we expect breakage if for
example
$ssl_cipher
from
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#variables
got append as field #17 to the format currently described at
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cache_log_format
?
Do we know of other reasons to veto such a change?
(If I do not hear of problems until 2014-01-22, I'll let ops know that
appending $ssl_cipher is ok for us)
Best regards,
Christian
P.S.:
* Webstatscollector ignores additional fields, hence should be safe.
* Wikipedia zero ignores additional fields, hence should be safe.
* The mobile jobs that we moved out of Hadoop some time ago and I
guess are currently unused ignore additional fields, hence should be
safe.
