Hi Gabriel, I've read that HAProxy is capable of keeping a set of http request directed to the same webserver. (I think the feature is called 'Sticky Session' on Websphere Cluster)
I've seen this in the documentation : appsession <cookie> len <length> timeout <holdtime> > > [request-learn] [prefix] [mode <path-parameters|query-string>] > * Define session stickiness on an existing application cookie.* > > I'm just looking for some howto/best practices on this subject. Also the shared session with memcache can be a valid option. (I've to dig this subject). So, can anyone confirm that it's possible or not possible to have a "sticky session" feature with HAProxy ? If possible : howto/best practice? If not : well I'll try the memcache solution ;) Thanks for your help, Regards, Thomas.
