The "hijack" functions were used to inject data into a buffer as long as the BF_HIJACK flag was set on the buffer. Reading from a socket to a buffer was also prevented as long as this flag was set. This is how the stats work in haproxy 1.3 : the stats output is forced into the buffer and nothing else can alter the buffer. In 1.4, it works differently because the stats run as a function which simulates a connection to a server, which allows them to run interactively. So in 1.4, the hijack functions are not used anymore. I hesitated removing all the hijack mechanism in 1.4, but I figured that if we need it later, it would be difficult to reintroduce, so better keep it for now. Look in 1.3 how this works for instance by analysing the function stats_dump_raw_to_buffer(). Hoping this helps, Willy
