Hello, I've run up against a behavior I don't understand. I have a request header that would be ideal to use for stickiness, however while it works if I do "balance hdr(x-balance)", "stick on hdr(x-balance)" does not and I can't figure out why.
Here's the configuration (somewhat abbreviated) that doesn't work (I can see client connections switching over between the servers): >>> global chroot /var/lib/haproxy daemon group haproxy log 127.0.0.1 local0 info maxconn 4000 pidfile /var/run/haproxy.pid stats socket /var/lib/haproxy/stats user haproxy defaults log global option redispatch option httpclose option http-server-close retries 3 stats enable timeout connect 10s timeout client 10s timeout server 60s timeout check 10s backend stage_mobile_http_backend_1 reqrep ^([^\ ]*\ /)1.13[/]?(.*) \1\2 mode http stick on hdr(x-balance) stick-table type string size 100m expire 2m server <server1> <ip1> check server <server2> <ip2> check listen stage_mobile_http_proxy bind 127.0.0.1:80 mode http option tcplog option forwardfor reqadd X-Forwarded-Proto:\ http default_backend stage_mobile_http_backend_1 >>> However, this backend config, does work: >>> backend stage_mobile_http_backend_1 reqrep ^([^\ ]*\ /)1.13[/]?(.*) \1\2 mode http balance hdr(x-balance) hash-type consistent server <server1> <ip1> check server <server2> <ip2> check >>> This is on a Debian dist with Haproxy 1.4.24 (behind a Pound SSL terminator). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks /Lars J. Nilsson Executive VP, Cubeia Ltd +46 (0) 704 / 10 69 53
