Creates a TargetHttpsProxy resource in the specified project and region using the data included in the request.
HTTP request
 POST https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{project}/regions/{region}/targetHttpsProxies 
The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax. To know more about valid error responses that can be thrown by this HTTP request, please refer to the service error catalog
Path parameters
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| project |   Project ID for this request. | 
| region |   Name of the region scoping this request. | 
Query parameters
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| requestId |   An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed. For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments. The request ID must be a valid UUID 
with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (  | 
Request body
The request body contains data with the following structure:
| JSON representation | 
|---|
| { "kind" : string , "id" : string , "creationTimestamp" : string , "name" : string , "description" : string , "selfLink" : string , "urlMap" : string , "sslCertificates" : [ string ] , "certificateMap" : string , "quicOverride" : enum , "sslPolicy" : string , "region" : string , "proxyBind" : boolean , "serverTlsPolicy" : string , "authorizationPolicy" : string , "fingerprint" : string , "httpKeepAliveTimeoutSec" : integer , "tlsEarlyData" : enum } | 
kind 
 string 
[Output Only] Type of resource. Always compute#targetHttpsProxy 
for target HTTPS proxies.
id 
 string ( uint64 
format) 
[Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
name 
 string 
Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035 
. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? 
which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.
description 
 string 
An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
selfLink 
 string 
[Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.
urlMap 
 string 
A fully-qualified or valid partial URL to the UrlMap resource that defines the mapping from URL to the BackendService. For example, the following are all valid URLs for specifying a URL map:
-  https://www.googleapis.compute/v1/projects/ project /global/urlMaps/ url-map
-  projects/ project /global/urlMaps/ url-map
-  global/urlMaps/ url-map
Authorization requires the following IAM 
permission on the specified resource urlMap 
:
-  compute.regionUrlMaps.use
sslCertificates[] 
 string 
URLs to SslCertificate resources that are used to authenticate connections between users and the load balancer. At least one SSL certificate must be specified. SslCertificates do not apply when the load balancing scheme is set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.
The URLs should refer to a SSL Certificate resource or Certificate Manager Certificate resource. Mixing Classic Certificates and Certificate Manager Certificates is not allowed. Certificate Manager Certificates must include the certificatemanager API namespace. Using Certificate Manager Certificates in this field is not supported by Global external Application Load Balancer or Classic Application Load Balancer, use certificateMap instead.
Currently, you may specify up to 15 Classic SSL Certificates or up to 100 Certificate Manager Certificates.
Certificate Manager Certificates accepted formats are:
-  //certificatemanager.googleapis.com/projects/{ project }/locations/{ location }/certificates/{ resourceName }.
-  https://certificatemanager.googleapis.com/v1alpha1/projects/{ project }/locations/{ location }/certificates/{ resourceName }.
Authorization requires the following IAM 
permission on the specified resource sslCertificates 
:
-  compute.regionSslCertificates.get
certificateMap 
 string 
URL of a certificate map that identifies a certificate map associated with the given target proxy. This field can only be set for Global external Application Load Balancer or Classic Application Load Balancer. For other products use Certificate Manager Certificates instead.
If set, sslCertificates will be ignored.
Accepted format is //certificatemanager.googleapis.com/projects/{ project 
}/locations/{ location 
}/certificateMaps/{ resourceName 
} 
.
quicOverride 
 enum 
Specifies the QUIC override policy for this TargetHttpsProxy resource. This setting determines whether the load balancer attempts to negotiate QUIC with clients. You can specify NONE 
, ENABLE 
, or DISABLE 
.
- When quic-overrideis set toNONE, Google manages whether QUIC is used.
- When quic-overrideis set toENABLE, the load balancer uses QUIC when possible.
- When quic-overrideis set toDISABLE, the load balancer doesn't use QUIC.
- If the quic-overrideflag is not specified,NONEis implied.
sslPolicy 
 string 
URL of SslPolicy resource that will be associated with the TargetHttpsProxy resource. If not set, the TargetHttpsProxy resource has no SSL policy configured.
Authorization requires the following IAM 
permission on the specified resource sslPolicy 
:
-  compute.regionSslPolicies.use
region 
 string 
[Output Only] URL of the region where the regional TargetHttpsProxy resides. This field is not applicable to global TargetHttpsProxies.
proxyBind 
 boolean 
This field only applies when the forwarding rule that references this target proxy has a loadBalancingScheme 
set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED 
.
When this field is set to true 
, Envoy proxies set up inbound traffic interception and bind to the IP address and port specified in the forwarding rule. This is generally useful when using Traffic Director to configure Envoy as a gateway or middle proxy (in other words, not a sidecar proxy). The Envoy proxy listens for inbound requests and handles requests when it receives them.
The default is false 
.
serverTlsPolicy 
 string 
Optional. A URL referring to a networksecurity.ServerTlsPolicy resource that describes how the proxy should authenticate inbound traffic.
 serverTlsPolicy 
only applies to a global TargetHttpsProxy 
attached to globalForwardingRules 
with the loadBalancingScheme 
set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED 
or EXTERNAL 
or EXTERNAL_MANAGED 
or INTERNAL_MANAGED 
. It also applies to a regional TargetHttpsProxy 
attached to regional forwardingRules 
with the loadBalancingScheme 
set to EXTERNAL_MANAGED 
or INTERNAL_MANAGED 
. For details which ServerTlsPolicy 
resources are accepted with INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED 
and which with EXTERNAL 
, INTERNAL_MANAGED 
, EXTERNAL_MANAGED 
 loadBalancingScheme 
consult ServerTlsPolicy 
documentation.
If left blank, communications are not encrypted.
Authorization requires the following IAM 
permission on the specified resource serverTlsPolicy 
:
-  networksecurity.serverTlsPolicies.use
fingerprint 
 string ( bytes 
format) 
Fingerprint of this resource. A hash of the contents stored in this object. This field is used in optimistic locking. This field will be ignored when inserting a TargetHttpsProxy 
. An up-to-date fingerprint must be provided in order to patch the TargetHttpsProxy; otherwise, the request will fail with error 412 conditionNotMet 
. To see the latest fingerprint, make a get() 
request to retrieve the TargetHttpsProxy.
A base64-encoded string.
httpKeepAliveTimeoutSec 
 integer 
Specifies how long to keep a connection open, after completing a response, while there is no matching traffic (in seconds). If an HTTP keep-alive is not specified, a default value (610 seconds) will be used.
For global external Application Load Balancers, the minimum allowed value is 5 seconds and the maximum allowed value is 1200 seconds.
For classic Application Load Balancers, this option is not supported.
tlsEarlyData 
 enum 
Specifies whether TLS 1.3 0-RTT Data ("Early Data") should be accepted for this service. Early Data allows a TLS resumption handshake to include the initial application payload (a HTTP request) alongside the handshake, reducing the effective round trips to "zero". This applies to TLS 1.3 connections over TCP (HTTP/2) as well as over UDP (QUIC/h3).
This can improve application performance, especially on networks where interruptions may be common, such as on mobile.
Requests with Early Data will have the "Early-Data" HTTP header set on the request, with a value of "1", to allow the backend to determine whether Early Data was included.
Note: TLS Early Data may allow requests to be replayed, as the data is sent to the backend before the handshake has fully completed. Applications that allow idempotent HTTP methods to make non-idempotent changes, such as a GET request updating a database, should not accept Early Data on those requests, and reject requests with the "Early-Data: 1" HTTP header by returning a HTTP 425 (Too Early) status code, in order to remain RFC compliant.
The default value is DISABLED.
Response body
Represents an Operation resource.
Google Compute Engine has three Operation resources:
You can use an operation resource to manage asynchronous API requests. For more information, read Handling API responses .
Operations can be global, regional or zonal.
- For global operations, use the globalOperationsresource.
- For regional operations, use the regionOperationsresource.
- For zonal operations, use the zoneOperationsresource.
For more information, read Global, Regional, and Zonal Resources .
Note that completed Operation resources have a limited retention period.
