If you really want to accept the 'bad' URLs then you might enable
'option accept-invalid-http-request' but I strongly recommend to not
enable this in a production environment.

I did a bit of ngrep-ing yesterday as well, and we are indeed seeing non-ASCII encoded characters flowing in URLs and Referrers, from MSIE clients. We'll see how we handle those on our actual backends (without HAproxy forwarding the traffic), and then decide on what the next step would be.

Thanks for the input so far.
