Contrary to haproxy, httpterm does not support all the HTTP protocols. Furthermore, it has become easier to handle inbound/outbound connections / streams since the rework done at conn_stream level. This patch implements httpterm HTTP server services into haproxy. To do so, it proceeds the same way as for the TCP checks which use only one stream connector, but on frontend side. The makefile is modified to handle haterm.c in additions to all the C files for haproxy to build new haterm program into haproxy, the haterm server also instantiates a haterm stream (hstream struct) attached to a stream connector for each incoming connection without backend stream connector. This is the role of sc_new_from_endp() called by the muxes to instantiate streams/hstreams. As for stream_new(), hstream_new() instantiates a task named process_hstream() (see haterm.c) which has the same role as process_stream() but for haterm streams. haterm into haproxy takes advantage of the HTTP muxes and HTX API to support all the HTTP protocols supported by haproxy.
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.
