As reported by GH user @HiggsTeilchen on #3250, the use of "option dont-parse-log" may result in segmentation fault when parsing the configuration. In fact, "option assume-rfc6587-ntf" is also affected. The reason behind this is that cfg_parse_log_forward() leverages the cfg_parse_listen_match_option() function to check for generic proxy options that are relevant in the PR_MODE_SYSLOG context. And while it is not documented, this function assumes that the currently evaluated proxy is stored in the global variable 'curproxy', which cfg_parse_log_forward() doesn't offer. cfg_parse_listen_match_option() uses curproxy to check the currently evaluated proxy's capabilities is compatible with the option, so if a proxy with the frontend capability was defined earlier in the config, parsing would succeed, if curproxy points to proxy without the frontend capabilty (ie: backend), a warning would be emitted to tell that the option would be ignored while it is perfectly valid for the log-forward proxy, and if no proxy was defined earlier in the config a segfault would be triggered. To fix the issue, we explicitly make "curproxy" global variable point to the log-forward proxy being parsed in cfg_parse_log_forward() before leveraging cfg_parse_listen_match_option() to check for compatible options. It must be backported with 834e9af8 ("MINOR: log: add options eval for log-forward"), which was introduced in 3.2 precisely.
HAProxy
HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.
Installation
The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.
Getting help
The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.
The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.
Documentation
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.
