Can't get http_buffer_request to work

[Niko Dittmann]

Hi List,

I can't get the Haproxy option http-buffer-request to work. I'm using Haproxy 
1.6.5. This is my configuration:

global
  maxconn 20000
  debug

defaults HTTP
  mode  http
  option  http-buffer-request  # buffer the whole request before dispatching it 
to the backend
  timeout connect  5s
  timeout client  50s
  timeout server  50s

frontend http
  bind 127.0.0.1:8123
  use_backend api.radioadmin_backend if { hdr(host) -i 
api.radioadmin.local:8123 }
  use_backend radioadmin_backend if { hdr(host) -i radioadmin.local:8123 }

backend api.radioadmin_backend
  mode  http
  server api.radioadmin3000 127.0.0.1:3000 check

backend radioadmin_backend
  mode  http
  server radioadmin3001 127.0.0.1:3001 check


None the less the server starts to receive the request while the client is 
still sending. Am I missing something? Any help is highly appreciated.

Niko.
