Hello there, When moving from Apache proxy to HAProxy we noticed slow connections and frequent disconnects when doing SVN checkouts and commits. The problems seems to be related to SVN >= 1.8.x.
Here's how to reproduce the issue: - Set up SVN server 1.8.x with Apache - Configure HAProxy 1.5.x (we use 1.5.5) as standard http/https (or tcp) reverse proxy with a simple backend config like this: +++++++++++++++++++++ backend subversion option httpclose option forwardfor server mysvn mysvnserv.mydomain:80 cookie A reqirep Destination:\ https(.*) Destination:\ http\\1 +++++++++++++++++++++ - Use an SVN client >= 1.8.x - Try to commit and checkout a larger number of files - You will notice slow connections and disconnects Apparently SVN clients < 1.8 don't cause the problem, I can checkout large repositories without any problems (Maybe related to the serf-library introduced in the 1.8 line). Looks like someone else already ran into the same issue, as you can see here: http://grokbase.com/t/subversion/users/148m7sk22k/haproxy-subversion. Any ideas? Regards, Sebastian
