I've got the follow config in testing which works.
frontend tester 10.13.200.53:80
acl url_7095 path_beg -i /7095
acl url_7096 path_beg -i /7096
acl url_7097 path_beg -i /7097
use_backend vidserver_7095 if url_7095
use_backend vidserver_7096 if url_7096
use_backend vidserver_7097 if url_7097
backend vidserver_7095
reqirep ^([^\ ]*)\ /7095/(.*) \1\ /2
server vidserver 127.0.0.1:7095 check
and so on.
The problem I'm trying to solve is to make a number of video servers
show up on port 80 to keep them from being blocked by poorly configured
corp firewalls. To that end I was hoping I could accept connections with
HAProxy, read the uri, and rewrite to localhost:port_based_on_uri on the
fly using a bit of regex. If it were just 3-4 per server I'd leave it as
above, but it's closer to 40 or so per server with the content system
scheduling to different servers based on concurrent servers. I could
ultimately just configure all possible iterations on each server, but
was hoping for a less brute force approach.
In any case going through the docs I think the following is the right
path, but so far I haven't found anything that works or is a large
syntax violation.
frontend tester 10.13.200.53:80
option http_proxy
option httpclose
acl url_7095 path_beg -i /7095
use_backend localhost_vidserver if acl url_7095
backend localhost_vidserver
# reqirep ^([^\ ]*)\ /(.*)/(.*) localhost:2 /3
reqirep ^([^\ ]*)\ /7095/(.*) localhost:7095 /2
server localhost 127.0.0.1
Any pointers to how to approach this or that my use case is not
supported would be appreciated.
