This is different. Soon, you'll be able to store an URL in a stick-table, so you'll be able to update a gpc counter by setting up a particular header on the server side which tells HAProxy to block this request. For the cancellation of this blocking system, you could request the URL with a particular header to unblock it. It might be doable with HAProxy nightly snapshot, but you should definitely wait for Willy to provide the 1.5-dev9 which allows strings in stick-tables.
