Since 7a21c3a4ef ("MAJOR: log: implement proper postparsing for logformat expressions"), logformat expressions stored in a default section are not postchecked anymore. This is because the REGISTER_POST_PROXY_CHECK() only evaluates regular proxies. Because of this, proxy options which are automatically enabled on the proxy depending on the logformat expression features in use are not set on the default proxy, which means such options are not passed to the regular proxies that inherit from it (proxies that and will actually be running the logformat expression during runtime). Because of that, a logformat expression stored inside a default section and executed by a regular proxy may not behave properly. Also, since 03ca16f38b ("OPTIM: log: resolve logformat options during postparsing"), it's even worse because logformat node options postresoving is also skipped, which may also alter logformat expression encoding feature. To fix the issue, let's add a special case for default proxies in parse_logformat_string() and lf_expr_postcheck() so that default proxies are postchecked on the fly during parsing time in a "relaxed" way as we cannot assume that the features involved in the logformat expression won't be compatible with the proxy actually running it since we may have different types of proxies inheriting from the same default section. This bug was discovered while trying to address GH #2597. It should be backported to 3.0 with 7a21c3a4ef and 03ca16f38b.
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.
