I've set up the stats socket and get results ok running "show info" or "show
stats" etc, but for some reason "show errors" is always blank. Any tips to
getting "show errors" to return the sexy output like is shown at the very
bottom of http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.3/doc/configuration.txt ?

Basically we're still having an intermittent problem with a client that is
getting 502 Bad Gateway errors, most likely due to some bad characters in
their HTTP headers (specifically cookies we think), but I'm unable to tell
the client exactly what is wrong since "show errors" is not showing
anything. They want to track down and fix whatever's wrong with their
website, so they have not wanted us to enable the options to accept invalid
http requests/responses just yet.

This particular load balancer just has 1 site running on it with a couple
backends and one front end. I've also tried doing show errors <IID> using
the various IID's in use but it always just comes back with nothing.

The site in question has a ton of css includes, images, javascript files
etc... The only thing I can think of is maybe once a valid request passes
through HAProxy "show errors" is cleared, so we somehow need them to stop
making any more requests once they run into 502 bad gateway until we can
capture the "show errors" output?

I have spammed "show errors" as fast as I possibly can while they're doing
some testing but I've yet to actually see it return anything.

Thanks for any tips!
