I was reading this: http://blog.serverfault.com/2010/08/26/1016491873/
A bit confused, the link to the src is version 1.5 but version 1.4 seems to have a modified date of sept 2011 while 1.5 is august 2010. Is this an addon module or? Is it being maintained? Ok my main question is this: When a given ipaddress is rate limited and connections are dropped, how exactly is this happening? Will it drop the connection during the TCP handshake and as a result only the http header will be sent from the client and not body? I'm using this where clients are sending http requests and they don't really have control over it, so I have to rate limit them as best as I can. With this rate limiting, will this save be bandwith also since I don't have to rate limit at the application level? i.e. b/c at the application level I have to load the header and body to determine if I should reject the request. (Ok as I wrote this it seems the link from the blog entry is to haproxy itself, so this is built in the core?) Thanks for the clarifications!
