To serve traffic in both SSL and non-SSL modes without redirecting to SSL, you can include the
environment variable `HTTPS_METHOD=noredirect` (the default is `HTTPS_METHOD=redirect`). You can also
disable the non-SSL site entirely with `HTTPS_METHOD=nohttp`, or disable the HTTPS site with
`HTTPS_METHOD=nohttps`. `HTTPS_METHOD` must be specified on each container for which you want to
override the default behavior. If `HTTPS_METHOD=noredirect` is used, Strict Transport Security (HSTS)
is disabled to prevent HTTPS users from being redirected by the client. If you cannot get to the HTTP
site after changing this setting, your browser has probably cached the HSTS policy and is automatically

### Client-Side Certificate Authentication

In order to secure your virtual host, you have to copy your CA certificate file (ca.crt) named as its equivalent VIRTUAL_HOST variable on directory
/etc/nginx/ca/$VIRTUAL_HOST.crt
#### Certificate Revocation List (CLR)
In oder to use a certificate revocation list, you have to copy your .clr file named as its equivalent VIRTUAL_HOST variable on the same directory /etc/nginx/ca/$VIRTUAL_HOST.clr
