Configuring SSL support
NGINX uses the OpenSSL Project for TLS/SSL protocols. More information about this Open Source toolkit can be found at https://www.openssl.org. Support for SSL can be had from either the OS or directly from a separate copy of the toolkit. If you use either --with-http_ssl_module or --with-mail_ssl_module without --with-ssl, you're using the OpenSSL library that is installed on the machine where you executed the configure command. If you'd like to compile against a specific version of OpenSSL, download the distribution, unpack it in a directory, and then specify the path to that directory as the argument to --with-openssl. Use the --with-openssl-opt option to specify additional build options for OpenSSL itself.
