Hi all

I am moving a session by replicating it from one app server to another app 
server when a certain scenario occurs.

However, now I would like the haproxy to redirect the traffic to the new app 
server where the session resides.
When the certain scenario occurs, I am setting a cookie TRANSITION=X. Where X 
is another node on which session has been replicated.

As an example, in the flow below, session is assigned to node A at the end of 
first HTTP response. While processing second request on app server, I set the 
TRANSITION=X cookie.

Is there a way by which haproxy can alter the node from A to node X in the 
JSESSIONID cookie?


>-- GET /URI1 HTTP/1.0 ------------> |
               ( no cookie, haproxy forwards in load-balancing mode. )
                                       | >-- GET /URI1 HTTP/1.0 ---------->
                                       |     X-Forwarded-For: 10.1.2.3
                                       | <-- HTTP/1.0 200 OK -------------<
                        ( no cookie, nothing changed )
  <-- HTTP/1.0 200 OK ---------------< |
      Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=A~123     |
  >-- GET /URI2 HTTP/1.0 ------------> |
      Cookie: JSESSIONID=A~123         |
       ( the proxy sees the cookie, removes the server name and forwards
          to server A which sees the same cookie as it previously sent )
                                       | >-- GET /URI3 HTTP/1.0 ---------->
                                       |     Cookie: JSESSIONID=123
                                       |     X-Forwarded-For: 10.1.2.3
                                       | <-- HTTP/1.0 200 OK -------------<
                        ( no cookie, nothing changed )
  <-- HTTP/1.0 200 OK ---------------< |
        Set-Cookie: TRANSITION=X         |
      Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=X~123     |
        >-- GET /URI2 HTTP/1.0 ------------> |
      Cookie: JSESSIONID=X~123         |
       ( the proxy sees the cookie, removes the server name and forwards
          to server X)
