IE8 compatibility (i know, ie8 is cringe.)

IE8 cannot by default view sites behind Caddy

I run a wiki that has a retro style, and I'd love to open it in IE8 on Windows XP to get some nice screenshots, But Caddy uses something (I don't know exactly what) that IE8 doesn't support; So I can't.

Can someone tell me what it is, or how to make it work?
Thanks in advance

That'll never be supported. IE8 doesn't support modern secure TLS encryption algorithms. Caddy only supports modern security.

You could probably compile your own version of Caddy that does support old TLS versions / cipher suites, but we won't be offering that at this point. (We could probably maintain a custom build for a sufficiently-tiered sponsor if they need it, but I would try to talk them out of it first.)

PS. I have a strong sense of nostalgia for old software like IE, I just can't let that affect our security decisions in Caddy. But nothing stops someone from making their own fork for fun!

Thanks for replying;
I appreciate the answer to why it doesn't work. I'll try writing some sort of middleware for this issue.

But that isn't related to Caddy so I'll do that myself.

Thanks for the answer.
