Hello Joe, I run into a similar problem, when using haproxy version greater 1.3.16 in conjunction with ssl (stunnel). After a post no data was sent back to IE. Using firefox everything is fine.
I also noticed that the order of the entries on the statistic's page changed with the new versions. Peter > Hi.
