I do not see the behavior you describe, but I also do no know what haproxy
version you might be using or what your config might be like.
haproxy version 1.7.1 with a proxy config like that shown below does not close
the connection and contains no “connection: close” header for me.
listen http
bind :8000
http-request redirect prefix /redir
$> curl -v http://127.0.0.1:8000/foo
* Trying 127.0.0.1...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 8000 (#0)
