AmigaOS afficinado in the dev team .... :-)
This is an error message from HTTP accelerator software Varnish used on thousands of websites. Obviously inspired by the original Amiga EM.

Hacking Varnish
There's no native support for SSL/TLS, but you can use Hitch to terminate TLS/SSL connections and forwards the unencrypted traffic.

Hacking Varnish
The community has exciting and free shares, such as VSF, but it's still a work in progress, and I doubt they have the necessary time and resources to support all versions. Anyway, it can be a great inspiration to set security rules in your Varnish.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing hitch and VSF you can also consider the following projects:
varnish-cache - Varnish Cache source code repository
libvmod-throttle - Varnish: Reject or delay requests after given tresholds are reached. (Think API rate limit, or per-ip MISS rate limit)
