Not only it is possible, but it is the only thing it can do :-) Keep in mind that haproxy is a reverse-proxy and not a proxy, so it will not try to resolve a host to connect to a specific location for example. Thus, if it receives a request such as "CONNECT foo:443 HTTP/1.1", it will not try to resolved "foo", it will send it to one of the servers declared in the backend. And it is the same for all methods, there is nothing specific to CONNECT. Regards, Willy
